Bronny James and Shareef O’Neal had an embarrassing escapade recently. The famous NBA scions were denied entry into Saweetie’s birthday party at an LA hotspot.

LeBron James’ son joined Shaquille O’Neal’s son for a night on the town recently. However, their attempt to enter an LA nightclub, The Poppy, failed. The club was the venue for rap music trendsetter, Saweetie’s 30th birthday. It was an adult-only event and Bronny is only 18.

Though they couldn’t party it up with Saweetie, Bronny, and Shareef didn’t act like entitled famous kids. They accepted their fate and left without creating a scene.

However, pictures of the young boys outside the club went viral. Some poked fun and others felt bad for them.

Marcus Jordan considers it a privilege that his parents were very private individuals and he had a private upbringing. But the rise of technology and social media has not left that privilege to the kids of today’s NBA athletes.

“

NBA kids today don’t necessarily have that luxury,” he said on the podcast.

He further added that wherever Bronny goes, cameras follow. He brought up the party incident and recalled when he was a teen trying to get into the hottest parties in town.

Marcus is familiar with trying to balance anonymity with public situations. Marcus was able to get away with it before the era of smartphones. He apparently felt a bit of empathy for Bronny and Shareef for the situation they were in.

Shaq made up for Bronny and Shareef’s ruined night

Bronny and Shareef were allowed into another party, one hosted by Shareef’s dad. Shaquille O’Neal was at the Anime Expo and in an Instagram Story shared by Shaq’s son, Myles O’Neal, Bronny was seen grooving to the music.

Big Diesel became DJ Diesel for the show and drove the crowd wild. Bronny certainly was not missing Saweetie’s bash while partying it up with the O’Neals.
