Shaquille O’Neal raised his kids well! The Big Man made a rule that his kids would inherit his money only when they established themselves on their own. They took it as a challenge. While Me’arah is taking the women’s college basketball scene by storm, his stepson Myles dominates the music realm. While they always had their famous father’s support, all six O’Neal kids sought to forge their own paths to stardom. Myles O’Neal recently revealed that he intentionally chose not to follow his father’s passion for Dubstep.

The rising DJ and fashion enthusiast recently made an appearance at the Insomniac music event. During the interview, he spoke about his contributions to the music industry. He further elaborated on his dad’s impact, expressing that while he loves DJing alongside his father, Myles didn’t choose Dubstep just so he could make his own impact. “I purposely didn’t follow exact route as my dad because I’m not like first of I don’t play dubstep music but secondly I was like this is something I genuinely wanted to do and I didn’t want people to be like you’re doing it because your dad is doing it. We don’t do anything together sometimes we will play together but as as far as everything else is separate,” Myles said.

The caption of the post read, “Breaking new ground in music and crafting his own legacy, Myles O’Neal brings a fresh vibe to the scene. Catch him in the studio cooking up some singles, letting his passion and creativity flow.” 

The Big Aristotle has always spoken fondly of his kids. While Myles may have chosen to do something different from his father, it was his dad who introduced him to music.

Shaquille O’Neal bonded with his stepson through music 

At the age of 27, Myles has a net worth of $5 million. He started his career as a model early after being influenced by music icon and business-savvy Pharrell Williams. He has worked with numerous brands, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Givenchy, Michael Kors, and Under Armour. 

After this, he also began to follow his love for music. Myles shared that his father, O’Neal, influenced his taste in music. “Growing up, there was a lot of different music playing in my house. My dad had a huge impact on my taste in music,” Myles said. His first DJ set was also presented by his stepdad. 

Moreover, he added that the Big Aristotle used to make them listen to Biggy, 2Pac, Eminem, Scarface, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and A Tribe Called Quest. As the 27-year-old mentioned before, both often trade songs and practice together. The Los Angeles Lakers legend indeed has a major impact on Myles’ career.
