Is there anything Shaq can’t do? TNT’s coverage of the NBA might have ended for the season, but its fan-favorite hosts can’t stop making headlines. While Charles Barkley dropped a massive bomb with a retirement announcement, Shaquille O’Neal is occupied with his hilarious antics on social media. Even the latter’s eldest daughter, Taahirah O’Neal, seems to have reached the end of the rope. After succeeding as a rapper and DJ, it seems like the NBA legend has aced another music genre.

In a clip uploaded on Instagram, O’Neal showcased his vocal talents, singing along to the 80s hit ‘Between the Sheets’ by The Isley Brothers. He shared the clip of himself singing with his 34 million+ followers, making hilarious facial expressions while smoking a hookah. The post is captioned, “dat boy can sang.”

While many commented on O’Neal’s views regarding his colleague Barkley’s retirement from broadcasting, others simply dropped some laughter emojis. On the other hand, Taahirah, who now lives close to her dad, wrote, “Dad… enough” along with a weary face emoji.

His eldest daughter has just moved to Atlanta, Georgia, for work. While one of the fans found Shaq’s antics amusing and wrote, “WE LOVE YOUR FATHER😂 It’s a walking comedy,” another netizen reminded him it was late. Some even called him a national treasure. Well, sure he is.

However, it seems neither the rave comments from fans nor a reminder from his eldest daughter had any effect. Just a few hours later, O’Neal posted another video.

Shaquille O’Neal’s singing prowess

In his next post, O’Neal is once again seen singing another song, ‘Million Dollar Baby (Old Man Remix)’. It seems Shaq is nowhere close to wrapping up his home music concert. The post is captioned, “million dollar baby old man remix.” And it appears fans are secretly enjoying it too. One netizen wrote, ‘This is the Shaq we all want to see.’

If Taahirah thought he’d stop his musical endeavors because of a minor complaint, she couldn’t have been more wrong. A few months ago, a netizen requested him to lower the volume of his DJ Diesel set in Columbia. “@djdiesel Please turn down that music; it is shaking my house and I’m trying to sleep,” the netizen wrote on X.

However, in response, O’Neal unapologetically declined the offer. “I’m sorry, but I’m not,” the Los Angeles Lakers legend wrote back on X. So, if you’re O’Neal’s neighbor, Taahirah feels your pain. Although, his fans would consider you lucky for attending O’Neal’s concert for free.
