Shaquille O’Neal’s kids have started standing on their own two feet. Shareef is likely going to be an NBA player while Myles is a promising model, actor, and DJ.  They both are somewhat self-sufficient. It helps when you have a millionaire dad like Shaq. The eldest stepson, Myles has turned up the heat in his shows with his tracks.

Shaq usually proudly posts them on his Instagram. He has also been part of two reality shows: “Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules” and “Basketball Wives“. The show was commissioned by his ex-wife, Shaunie herself. It provides a sneak peek into their lives and others.

In one of the episodes, Myles and his mom decided to do a tour of his future apartment. They saw the rooms and the patio. He said there will be “zero funny business” anywhere. Then, Shaunie talked about the rent with the agent Jared. He mentioned that the short-term rental would be $10,000 a month.

It left Shaunie shocked. Myles mentioned that he knew about it but said that there is no price on the knowledge he will get living in this house. Shaunie rebuffed him immediately.

She disciplined the 18-year-old and said, “Why you thought that amount of rent would be okay?“. She thought it was outrageous that an 18-year-old would ask for such an apartment. Shaunie said she prefers that he start with a $1,500-a-month house but Myles wanted a $2,000-a-month one. This angered her and she rebuked him by saying, “That’s not for you, cause this is all a joke. You think this is funny.”
