“Come Get Y’all Uncle Please”: Shaquille O’Neal’s Daughter Cringes at Dad’s Corny Response to Serious Question

There’s a reason Shaq wants his daughter to put that phone down. Taahirah O’Neal can outdo Charles Barkley in giving Shaquille O’Neal a hard time. Shaq thought he was being awesome at the game today as a special color commentator. His daughter said nope. She has her dad’s humor coupled with trendy knowledge to keep father O’Neal humble.

Taahirah O’Neal recently spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Shaq and her siblings. And her uncontrollable habit to troll him got on his nerves.

Shaquille O’Neal gets grounded by his daughter

The O’Neals are in the house as the Bucks were in Miami. Shaquille O’Neal stepped out of the TNT studio and wore the headset to call the game for his old team. Also enjoying the show in the stands were his kids, Taahirah and Shareef O’Neal.

The younger kids caught the cringe moment live when their dad responded to ‘What is his inspirational quote of the day.’ This is Shaq so, his quote was “Damn I look good.” Well, it is true. He’s looking fine in that suit and has next to no extra holiday weight to ruin his year-long efforts to stay in shape.

But 27-year-old Taahirah couldn’t let this ‘inspirational’ moment pass. She reshared that on her Instagram Stories with a plea for the dad joke aficionados out there to “Come get y’all uncle please.” 

She also added a little PS about her dad’s confidence in, “I need to channel this energy.” Big Diesel should, in fact, bottle up some of that confidence for all of us.

Taahirah should cut Shaq some slack too. He’s in Miami, getting his own Heat Culture jersey, and she got a good glimpse of his jersey with the retired #32 in the rafters. He’s feeling the vibe. Something Taahirah was harshing in the Bahamas.

Taahirah O’Neal is the irksome one

Before basking in Heat Culture, Shaq had a quiet and wholesome Thanksgiving with his kids. The dad of six and his troublemakers spent the holiday in the Bahamas with social media updates about their time there.

At one point, Taahirah showed, “I irk him” with her habit. She was filming him and he wanted her to put her phone down on the holiday. She also caught him in 4k discovering Kevin Hart’s Chocolate Droppa persona.
