ILOSM family, y’all may be surprised to know that NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal, is not the only famous one in his family. His cousin became famous around the same time as Shaq, and he really solidified his his name in 1992. This one might shock you, but see who he is below…
Shaq Has A Comedian In The Fam!’
Who knew, right? Comedian, Bill Bellamy, and Shaquille O’Neal are cousins!
Most of you probably remember when Bill first stepped onto the scene in 1992 and set the comedy world off, by popularizing the phrase, “booty call,” on “Def Comedy Jams.” That was hilarious! We also can’t forget about his roles in “Def Jam’s How To Be A Player,” “Love Jones,” and other roles throughout the late 90’s.
Although Shaq and Bill Bellamy seem very different- Bill was always known as the ‘sexy dude’ of comedy and Shaq was known as the superstar NBAer- they do have a few things in common. Obviously, the tall gene runs in their fam,’ Bill is 6’4″ and Shaq is 7’1″; and they both have a natural sense of humor.
Shaq and Bill are 7 years apart- Bill is 56 and Shaq is 49- and they apparently have a cool relationship. They even appeared in a 1998 Reebok commercial together, although damn near nobody knew they were actually cousins at that time.
Surprised much, I Love Old School Music fam?’
