April 19 is special to the O’Neal gang. 21 years ago, Shaquille O’Neal’s mini-me, Shaqir, was born. Leading the birthday kid’s celebrations is the youngest of the fam, Me’Arah O’Neal. Normally she spares the banter for their older brother, Shareef. Shaqir gets more affection as her “twin.” That shows in her cute birthday greeting for Shaqir.

“I love you twin,” she wrote on her Stories with a fun picture of herself, Shaqir, and possibly their older sister Amirah. All three sport identical headwear while throwing poses. Contrary to what they were probably aiming for, this is cuter than gangster.

In another post, she threw it back to when they were tiny little babies with very Shaq-like smiles. She wrote, “happy 21st brudda,” on this one.

Shaqir had a countdown going to the big 21. The Texas Southern Tigers basketball player who is on the transfer portal showed his appreciation for Meezy’s post by sharing it on his Stories. Someone who’s also not dodging Meezy’s ‘twin’ allegations is Shareef who got a mention of his own on Shaqir’s Stories.

Shareef also threw it back to when Shaqir was a lot tinier than him but had the trademark O’Neal smirk even then. “Happy 21st bday brudda, love you!” he wrote on a picture they took seemingly in the audience of a game. Keeping up with sibling mischief protocols, Shareef dug into Shaqir’s archive of never-before-seen past to photodump his childhood pictures. Including one of Shaqir getting too cozy with a wax version of Beyonce.

Myles is occupied with Coachella. And Amirah joined their mom at the Houston Lighthouse Church’s event this week. They haven’t resorted to embarrassing Shaqir on his birthday yet, but they probably would in private.

Shaqir O’Neal shines in the spotlight

Shaquille O’Neal hasn’t made a big public display yet either. But he casually brings up Shaqir in conversation a lot. Most importantly, he recently called Shaqir his mini version on The Big Podcast.

Shaqir, who became a SKIMS spokesperson during March Madness, is giving off all the Big Aristotle vibes too. A clip of the Tigers star surfaced where he looked like the second coming of Shaq doing an insane posterizing dunk in lightning-fast speed.
