Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal shot his son Shareef after younger O’Neal joked about the wait on singer Rihanna’s social media.

The young O’Neal currently plays at Louisiana State University, his father’s alma mater. In his two seasons at school, the young O’Neal produced modest stats.

In contrast, the elder O’Neal delivered numbers that ultimately saw the Orlando Magic win with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft.

Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is 33 years old and has held a prominent place in the music industry for over a decade.

This importance has led Rihanna to expand her business interests into a number of different areas. The combination of his music and business concerns is reportedly keeping him from taking a long time to respond to comments on social media.

Most parents might frown at the idea of ​​their 21-year-old trying to get the attention of a 33-year-old celebrity like Rihanna.

However, the older O’Neal has been a celebrity for the past three decades and probably knows his son well enough to make his jokes.

The elder O’Neal has remained busy since retiring from the NBA. In addition to serving as a commentator on NBA shows for TNT, he also continues to be a popular choice for advertisers to showcase their products.

At the moment, the elder O’Neal remains single and will likely not pursue any relationship with Rihanna, either now or in the future.
