Shaquille O'Neal has always been a father figure for Myles, Shaunie Henderson's oldest son from a past relationship. The bond between the two was so strong that Shaq adopted Myles, and now, the 26-year-old is following in the former NBA star's footsteps to become a DJ.
Shaq has been successful in both basketball and music, performing under his musical alter ego DJ Diesel. In a recent interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Shaq expressed his joy in working with Myles. He said, “I remember when I just bought him his first DJ set. He’d be in a room, and I’d try to let my kids do everything on their own, so he’d come in, and I’d say, ‘Figure it out,’ and he’d come back with it figured out.” Shaq also said he was impressed with Myles' innate skill for the game, adding “I’ve seen him perform many times, and he’s really good. I’m actually jealous, he’s really good. I’m so proud of him because he did it the same way I did it.”
Shaq also pointed out something else that Myles has that he doesn’t – hair. He said, “He has that DJ hair. I don’t have the DJ hair…something I’ve never had.” Myles opened up about how grateful he is to have his father supporting him in his career pursuits. He expressed back in June, “I got into the world of deejaying through my dad. He was doing his DJ Diesel project, and he just brought me on with no experience in the music industry at all. And I started working for him. I started in the background as a stage manager.”
Myles recently showcased his DJ skills at the HARD music festival in Las Vegas. It's clear from the way he's been performing that he has embraced his own artistic style. Shaq couldn't be more proud of his son's accomplishments, and it's evident that their bond is strong.
It's also inspiring to see Shaq's philanthropic efforts. Recently, he unveiled a new basketball court at the Shaquille O'Neal Boys and Girls Club in Georgia. It's clear that Shaq is committed to giving back to the community and encouraging the youth to reach for their dreams.
