During a recent interview with People magazine, Shaq opened up on DJing being something him and Myles can bond over. He even admitted that they trade songs back and forth with one another. Shaq also wasn't shy about being jealous about Myles' talent.

"We always trade songs," says Shaquille. "We've been practicing together."
"I've seen him perform many times and he's really good. I'm actually jealous, he's really good."

The main thing Shaq is jealous about is his son's look. He feels Myles has the perfect hair for a DJ while he is stuck being bald.

"He has that DJ hair. I don't have the DJ hair."

Similar to his journey to the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal had to prove himself as a DJ as well. When he first got into the profession, he really only got spots for celebrity appearances. Shaq admitted it was tough at first, but eventually he got a real opportunity to showcase his talent.

"They'd put me in the celebrity DJ pool, and I had to do a lot of the celebrity stuff."
"Everybody knew that I knew what I was doing," he says. "I was like, "I'm not a celebrity DJ, I'm a real DJ."

Over the years, "DJ Diesel" has become a household name in the music community. The LA Lakers legend recently got to do a set a Lollapalooza, a major music festival held in Chicago.
