The 26-year-old son of Shaquille O’Neal is certainly an outlier. Myles made the unique choice to not step onto the basketball court. He instead took inspiration from his legendary father in a different way. Following in DJ Diesel’s electrifying ways, the young millionaire kick-started his own disc jockeying career. Recently, he made a heavy revelation as he took to his social media account to express his disgust for a certain group of people.
He specifically spoke about one company. A $113 billion dollar company that his father had the opportunity to invest in.

He took to the newly launched Threads platform to express his hatred towards people who go to the Starbucks section of the grocery store.
It was a rather surprising take as it’s hard to imagine anyone hating on the staple drink of many across the world. He wrote, “I don’t trust people that go to Starbucks in the grocery store.”
This was a rather interesting take as a few years back Shaquille O’Neal revealed that he missed out on the opportunity to invest in the $100 billion organization.

Big Diesel opened up on the reason why he didn’t write a cheque to Starbucks. And it was a rather interesting one. He said, “My biggest mistake was not investing in Starbucks. I had the opportunity before Magic Johnson. But I told Howard Schultz that black people don’t drink coffee because I never seen anyone in my family drink coffee.”
The Los Angeles Lakers legend was quite sure of the fact that black people didn’t drink coffee. Thankfully, fellow Los Angeles Lakers legend, Magic Johnson, did not miss out on the same opportunity.
Despite being an astute observer of people and culture Shaq clearly missed the mark on that one. How many millions that cost him, we’ll never know.
