Rain revealed she flew from the Bahamas straight to Las Vegas to celebrate, and the trip delivered more than she could have imagined. At Encore Beach Club, she joined O’Neal on stage during his set as DJ Diesel, dancing alongside the four-time NBA champion into the early hours. “I met Shaq in Vegas and he brought me on stage!!! So so cool!!!” she wrote in a clip from the DJ booth.

Encore’s official Instagram also shared snapshots of the night, including bottle girls holding signs that read, “HBD Sophie,” while O’Neal stayed close by. On Snapchat, Rain teased her fans with bikini photos from earlier in the day, then hinted at the surprise encounter, calling Shaq “an NBA legend.”

The 21-year-old influencer, who boasts 13.4 million TikTok followers and another 8 million on Instagram, is no stranger to viral moments. In 2024, TMZ reported she had earned more than $40 million on OnlyFans. Complex now estimates her haul over the last year at more than $83 million.

Still, Rain admitted the birthday moment topped even her biggest career milestones. “I was out with friends celebrating turning 21, and all of a sudden Shaq was right there,” she told Complex. “He was so friendly, so down-to-earth, and honestly, he made the whole night unforgettable.”

Sophie Rain acknowledged the flood of social media jokes about a possible collaboration but kept her focus on the milestone. “People sometimes see me online and forget I’m still young,” she said. “Turning 21 was already huge, but now I’ll always have this crazy story tied to it. What matters is I had the time of my life. It’s a birthday I’ll never forget.”
