Former basketball player and sports analyst Shaquille O’Neal’s family life frequently makes headlines, but recently, it wasn’t Shaq himself but his daughter Me’Arah who became the center of attention.
Me’Arah, the youngest of Shaq’s six children, received a humorous reaction from her older brother, Myles O’Neal when he discovered she was venturing into dating through an Instagram post.
The post, a sponsored promotion for Tinder U, a dating app feature specifically for college students, surprised Myles, who couldn’t believe that his sister was entering the dating scene.

Me’Arah said she was invited to a party and couldn’t go with a plus-1, so she used the app’s feature to find someone to go with.
However, Me’Arah hasn’t revealed the name of the guy she has been dating online. In the post, Myles commented,
Me’Arah replied saying,
Myles, protective of his little sister, even hinted at crashing her date, suggesting he might show up to keep an eye on her.
While her brother reacted with surprise, her sister Amirah, a college basketball player at LSU, seemed more amused by the potential earning from the sponsored post.
