NBA fans have unearthed an old advertisement on social media involving both Shaquille O’Neal and Kendrick Lamar. There are very few people across the country who wouldn’t have heard about both of these personalities. After all, they are legends in their respective fields of basketball and music.
Therefore, it certainly caught the eyes of many when both of them appeared in a commercial and were seen promoting a product. Although a lot of time has passed since the advertisement was made, fans are still circulating it across social media and are keeping it from remaining forgotten. With that being said, let us take a closer look at this commercial and how fans are reacting to it.
Shaquille O’Neal and Kendrick Lamar were promoting a brand called Soaptopia
Shaq and Kendrick are an interesting duo that fans rarely see together. Therefore, it was a treat to them when an advertisement for a bathing product featured both of these celebrities. The brand which they promoted was called Soaptopia with its key pitch being the different scents or flavors it offers.

The best thing about this commercial was how natural they seemed when filming it. Both of them had quite a humorous vibe while interacting with each other, smelling and comparing the different scents from Soaptopia. Shaq seemed to prefer Lala Lavender while Lamar looked to be a fan of Beauty and the Beach, alongside others.
The commercial also included Lamar throwing a soap bar at Shaquille O’Neal, which fell into a bucket that the NBA legend was holding. Both of them celebrated this happy coincidence and concluded the advertisement. However, fans seem to be fixated on the incredible height gap between the two personalities, “Is Kendrick really that short?”

Some people who hadn’t seen the commercial up until that point were also startled to find out that O’Neal and Lamar collaborated together. Nonetheless, the majority of comments were focusing on the huge size gap between Shaq and Kendrick.

As NBA fans know, Shaquille O’Neal is listed as an impressive 7’1. On the other hand, Lamar is only reported to be around 5’4. That would deem him quite short when compared to the average adult male. After all, he is only an inch and a half taller than Kevin Hart.
