Being Divorced for 10 Years, Shaquille O’Neal Was Challenged by Ex-Wife Shaunie and Daughters Me’Arah and Amirah

Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many talents. The 7ft 1″ Hall-of-Famer was a once-in-a-lifetime talent on the basketball floor. He had his ways of dominating the paint and was an absolute menace for the opponents. However, basketball is just one of the many things he is good at.

Shaq is a platinum-selling artist with six rap albums to his name. We have all seen his acting in movies like Kazaam and Uncle Drew. Along with that, we see his talents in the media regularly when he works with TNT on their weekly shows and podcast.

However, one of the most underrated talents Shaq has is his dancing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his ex-wife Shaunie tried to make him display his talent for the world to see. Despite being divorced for over ten years at that point, the two had a great relation.

Shaquille O’Neal never completed Shaunie and daughters’ challenge

Back in 2020, the world came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were all confined to our houses and were trying to find ways to stay entertained. The same applied to the O’Neal family. In April, Shaunie decided to make things fun, and recorded a dance video with daughters Amirah O’Neal, and Me’Arah O’Neal.

She challenged Shaquille O’Neal, and their sons, Myles, Shareef, and Shaqir, to a dance challenge. Initially, Shaq replied with a comment, “Give us 24hrs we accept.” 

However, he never made good on the challenge. No videos have been posted to respond to the same, neither by Shaq nor by any of their sons. Although, before Shanuie and the girls challenged them, they had already posted a few videos doing dances.

Then there was this video.

The O’Neal boys sure have some moves. After all, they had Shaq to guide them.

Shaq and his dance moves

Over the years, we have seen Shaq break out his moves on the floor quite a few times. One of the most memorable ones is the 2007 All-Star Game when Shaq, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard broke off into a dance off.

Another example is the 2009 All-Star Game.

Shaq truly is a man of many talents.
