Shaq has talked about his son’s reality show journey on his podcast. He said, ” Myles is the cunning smart one. I say, go to school stay out of trouble, you can do everything you want. So I don’t mess with him because he’s being the perfect kid.” He continued, ” So if he wants to do a reality show and learn about the business and have a good time, there’s not nothing I could do because he does everything I’ve asked him to do … He has a hell of a modelling career, respects his mom, he respects me. He’s 24 — I can’t say don’t do this, don’t do that. He’s been around the business long enough to know what he’s doing.”
