OnlyFans star Sophie Rain turned 21 on Monday, and she chose to celebrate her birthday by heading over to Las Vegas with her friends. What was supposed to be just another birthday celebration, though, turned into an unforgettable night for Rain.
Rain bumped into NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal of all people in Las Vegas, and he chose to join in on the celebrations. She shared a picture of them together and sent social media into a frenzy.

O'Neal also DJ'd at the party, and everyone in attendance appeared to be having a blast as he performed.

O'Neal started DJing all the way back in the 1980s when he was at LSU. The 53-year-old, who is also known as "DJ Diesel," is a touring performer now, and we have seen him in action all over the world.
So, one might have initially assumed that Rain had hired O'Neal to perform, but that's not the case. She told the Blast that this was a chance meeting.
"I had no idea Shaq was going to be there," Rain said. "It was my 21st, I was out celebrating with friends, and suddenly he's right next to me. He could not have been cooler. He was smiling the whole time and made it feel like a real party."
"Turning 21 is something you dream about when you're younger, but this was more than I ever expected," Rain added. "I'm glad I got to share it with my people and then have this crazy, random memory with Shaq. Definitely one for the books."
This 21st birthday will live long in Rain's memory. Not everyone can claim to have had O'Neal, who won four titles and an MVP in 19 seasons in the NBA, perform on their big day.
This meeting ensures Rain continues to have her name float around in the basketball world. She, of course, raised eyebrows back in August when he claimed she had almost made more money than LeBron James last year.
Rain stated she earned $82 million in 18 months, and Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. was in disbelief when he heard that. Porter called out the men who have supported her on OnlyFans, but also added that he isn't in the business of judging individuals.
Rain fired back at Porter and suggested a double standard was in play. She made it clear she had worked hard to get where she is today and wasn't a fan of the disrespect coming her way.
