One of the challenges includes a lip-syncing competition. O’Neal had a short-lived rap career while Gronkowski took his talents to the recent season of “The Masked Singer.”
“I’ve listened to him perform and rap. I’m not too sure he’s going to win the lip-syncing competition,” the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end said, according to USA Today. “I can tell you this, I’m fresh off the Masked Singer … I know what to do, I’m trained right now.”

O’Neal said he understands that the event comes at a challenging time.
“We’re aware of all the stuff that’s going on,” he said. “The country’s doing a beautiful job of bringing awareness to the situation at hand. Now’s it time for the movers and shakers to get the laws and legislation changed. But this is going to be a fun event.

Doesn’t matter what your agendas are. Those two things always bring people together and Gronk and I happen to dominate both.”
