A brawl erupted outside of one of Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken restaurants after the former NBA superstar made a surprise appearance this week.
Shaq, the proud owner of the Big Chicken restaurant chain, revealed last week that he was planning to pop up at one of the fast food outlets, though he did not disclose which one.
He showed up at the one in Hartland, Michigan, which did not have the security required for such a large event because the meet-and-greet was not announced.
Of course, once people found out the Big Aristotle was in the building, they began pouring in, which led to a fight near the restaurant’s entrance.
You can see surveillance footage of the disturbance below.
