Shaquille O’Neal learned about his son’s new show through his podcast’s co-host

In January, Shaquille O’Neal was doing another episode of his ‘Big Podcast with Shaq’. While talking on the show, he was informed by his co-host about Myles O’Neal’s newest acting venture.

Shaq responded and said,

What? Which one? Myles is the cunning smart one, he’s the type that. Like I said, ‘Go to school, stay out of trouble, you can do everything you want.’ So I don’t mess with him because he’s damn near the perfect kid.”

So if he wants to do a reality show, learn about the business, have a good time, there’s nothing I can do. He’s been around the business long enough to know what he’s doing. So I wish he would have told me, so I don’t have to hear it here first. No, I didn’t know.”
