Taahirah has stayed away from the spotlight ever since she was young. She is Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter from his previous relationship with Arnetta Yardbourgh. She has also stayed away from athletics, basketball, and even music, but has been successfully helping her dad in the business world. The eldest kid of the Lakers’ legend recently credited him, and not for the qualities we are accustomed to.

“That is why I am the way that I am.” The 28-year-old added the reel of the 4x NBA Champion, where he tries to sing, ‘Who’s Lovin’ You’ written in 1960 by William “Smokey” Robinson. Shaquille O’Neal added the caption, “Hold on to my love.” He was off-tune for the entirety of the minute when he tried to sing. His singing rehearsals were either in between the shoots of TNT Tuesday. As we can easily spot 3x WNBA champion, Candace Parker walking in the background unbothered.

Similarly, Taahirah did not hesitate to show love for her dad, just like Shareef. “You know the words to this one 💯.” The 25-year-old was proud of the fact that his father was able to remember the words even though he was off-key. It’s not the first time we have seen DJ Diesel try his hand at lip-syncing to popular songs. Last year, in March, Shaq attempted to sing American popstar Rihanna’s famous song, Diamonds. But even the eldest child of the O’Neal clan was not a fan of dad’s shenanigans, early last year.

Because of singing, Shaq got the nickname ‘unc’ from social media. He uploaded a clip in June, where he first was smoking and then continued to showcase his vocal talents. This time his choice of the song was 80s hit ‘Between the Sheets’ by The Isley Brothers. Even in the caption, he hyped his vocal cords.

“dat boy can sang.” But Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter playfully asked her father to stop. “Dad… enough” along with a weary face emoji. The late-night posting of the song prompted her to write it, or perhaps she was tired of the ‘unc’ jokes. But there was another thing she was tired of all these years.

Shaquille O’Neal’s eldest finally reveals the truth that she has her father’s genes

Even though she is not the athletic type, or interested in playing basketball, she has proceeded to focus on Big Chicken with her dad. However, social media consistently reported her height as 5’5″. Therefore, she was shortsized online among all her siblings, which at first was not a problem for her.

But one day she had enough. “Y’all kill me with the height debates… I am 6ft EVEN.” In comparison, Shareef is 6’10” and Shaqir is a 6’8″ forward for the FAMU Rattlers. Shaquille O’Neal’s non-basketball-playing son, Myles, is 6’3″. Speaking about daughters, Gators player, Me’Arah is the 6’4″ phenom and her elder sister Amirah is 6’2″.

Her clarifying her height to six feet removes any question of her being way smaller than her siblings. Even though she is the shortest of them all, those extra inches mean a lot in the O’Neal household.
