Shaquille O’Neal Randomly Paid For A Stranger’s Engagement Ring To Make Him Smile

Shaquille O’Neal is known for wanting to make people happy. The Big Diesel regularly picks up the bill for random people, whether that be laptops, furniture or… engagement rings.

Yes, Shaq recently was shopping in a jewelry store, when he overheard a man talking through how he was going to pay for his engagement ring. Well, he didn’t need to, cause Shaq did.

“I see the guy come in and he was just so shy and he was saying, ‘Hey, how much do I owe to pay off my ring?’ I just said, ‘My man, how much is the ring?’” Young kid — he’s a hardworking guy — he’s like, ‘Hey man, I can come back the next month and the next.’ At first he was like, ‘I can’t take it.’ I was like, ‘Don’t worry about it. I do this all the time.’ I’m just trying to make people smile.”

.@SHAQ noticed a young man buying an engagement ring on layaway so the Big Diesel paid for it 🙏

"I’m just trying to make people smile. That’s all."
