LeBron James‘ son Bronny has made the news time and again. The last time the 18-year-old went viral, there was a mild backlash from social media users. An unexpected denial into an LA nightclub for a $4 million rapper’s birthday party was found to be the reason behind it. Bronny along with 21-year-old Shareef O’Neal stood outside the club as their pictures went viral on social media. Guess who decided to bail out the youngsters? Big Diesel, Shaquille O’Neal, of course.
However this time another member of the O’Neal family decided to join the USC commit. An Instagram update from Shaq’s supermodel son showed his father getting back to his DJ skills.

Young Bronny and Shareef O’Neal teamed up a few days back to enjoy the nightlife in LA. With wealth and easy access, that should certainly be an easy prospect, right? However, both young prospects’ desire to party was crushed after they were denied entry to $4 million Saweetie’s birthday party at LA’s famous nightclub, the Poppy. The drama did not end there though.
Pictures of Bronny and Shareef outside the club took over Twitter a few days back. A tweet revealed young Bronny was denied entry due to age restrictions. The legal drinking age in California is 21 and that’s why the bouncers did what they did. Though Shareef is a 21-year-old, he did not want to leave his friend hanging. After the unexpected upset, Shaq decided to make up for the damage.

51-year-old Big Diesel decided to put on his own show at the Anime Expo which took place from the 1st of July to the 5th. A story shared by Shaq’s DJ son Myles O’Neal showed him and Bronny James grooving to music at the expo.

Another story from Shareef O’Neal revealed that Shaq brought out his DJ Diesel avatar as the crowd went crazy. Considering Shaq’s history as a platinum record-selling artist and a prolific electronic DJ, one can imagine that the show more than made up for Bronny’s denial.

Why did Bronny and Shareef face backlash from the internet?
Fans believe the entry denial from the nightclub was fair by all means. Considering the fact that both their fathers are famous respected figures in the States, if Bronny decided to use shortcuts, things could have ended badly. And of course, being underage, the club was well within its rights to deny the 18-year-old.

Moreover, fans believe this will also set a good example for the other star kids and young teens in general. While that may be the case, the NBA community’s sentiment toward Saweetie is not looking good. Some fans believe that the denial should’ve been fixed from her end since the party was hers.
Anyhow now, it looks like 4-time champion Shaquille O’Neal has made up for it! Would you really mind missing the club if you got to see DJ Diesel live? What are your thoughts on the nightclub drama?
