Shaq captioned the video with a cheeky “O Punjabi MC deez,” sealing his place as the world’s newest bhangra star. Within hours, the reel hit millions of views.
The internet instantly erupted. Some fans joked, “AI is getting out of hand,” while others dubbed him “Shaq-inder Singh” and even quipped, “29 missed calls from Punjab basketball association”. Even Instagram head Adam Mosseri dropped a comment, “Well played, sir.”
From dunking basketballs to dropping bhangra moves, the Big Diesel just went Big Desi, and honestly, we’re all here for it.
