In a recent Instagram story from Myles O’Neal, he states that he has finished his tour, but rather than taking a break and resting, he is flying out to New York City at the moment to see his old man perform. He posted on his story that there was no way that he would miss DJ Diesel in action tonight at the Brooklyn Mirage.
Even though Shaq is not his biological father, the NBA legend has taken care of him and raised Myles as his own son. Myles was a model and a fashion icon before his dad’s music career influenced him, which pushed him into starting a career of his own in music.
Shaq is performing at the Brooklyn Mirage at Avant Gardner today in New York City. This is his last stop in New York before a 10-day break, and then he will be next performing in Denver on the 7th of September.
