Shareef O’Neal, the son of Shaquille O’Neal, noticed trolls who made wild accusations about his father after the basketball legend was named an honorary FBI Special Agent.
Last month, the retired NBA player received the honor from FBI Director Kash Patel during the graduation ceremony for Session 299 of the FBI National Academy in Virginia.
The honor, however, caused O’Neal to be heckled online, which Shareef detailed in the Oct. 14 episode of Silver Spoons, hosted by CJ Wallace, the son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, and Jae’Won, the son of Jadakiss.
“People have been talking crazy these past few days and my dad actually said that someone said my dad was like in the [Epstein] files,” Shareef said around the 49-minute mark of the video below. “My dad said, ‘Shut your broke ass up.’”
O’Neal responded to criticism of the badge acceptance on Instagram, telling one content creator to “get a real job.”
“U don’t have to like me I don’t like u,” Shaq wrote. “U don’t have a real job’ u live in your moms house why should anybody listen to you. All this for clicks and u still broke.”
