After Father Shaquille O’Neal Defended America’s Heartthrob’s Pride, Lesser Known Son Confesses His Love for Mother of 3

There are some individuals in the world who are so exceptional in their respective fields that they achieve worldwide fame. Turns out basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and his son are ardent followers of one such music icon who’s won over thirty Grammy awards in her career. Shaq’s 20-year-old son, Shaqir, expressed his love for the music goddess who’s a mother to three kids on National Girlfriends Day.

Shaquille O’Neal himself is a well-known music fanatic. It wasn’t just Shaqir, as the 4x NBA champion also recognized her greatness a few months ago.

Shaquille O’Neal’s son expresses his love for Music Icon

Legendary singer Beyonce has acquired the status of a goddess mainly due to her contributions to the music world. The 41-year-old music icon has won almost every laurel there is to win. She even holds the record for the most Grammys won with 32 to her name. It’ll be fair to assume that she’s got one of the biggest following all around the world, as she’s impressed many, including Shaq’s son.

Shaqir O’Neal is a 20-year-old aspiring basketball player who currently features for the Texas Southern Tigers. Shaqir shared an old post of him hugging a wax statue of Beyonce in 2019 on his Story. He captioned the story, “National GF Day.” Shaqir made it clear that he adores the musician. Unfortunately for him, she is already hitched to another rap icon, Jay Z, and shares three kids with the Hov.

Turns out Shaqir is not the only Beyonce stan in his family as his dad defended the music artist a few months back.

Shaquille O’Neal backed Beyonce

When Beyonce won her latest Grammy accolade, her name was pronounced Beyonce Knowles. The host evidently didn’t pronounce her last name that she got from her husband. It caused her partner Jay Z some uneasiness. Shaq, giving his take on the matter, said, “That’s her name.”

Shaquille O’Neal made it clear that she should be recognized by her own real name and not by her partner’s, as she’s achieved a ton on her own. The world knows Beyonce because of herself and not her husband. Shaq added, “Her name is Beyonce Knowles. Cut it out. Don’t be insensitive.”
