Silver Spoons

On this episode of Silver Spoons, hosts Jae’Won, son of Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, sit down with Shareef for an honest conversation about famous fathers, family expectations, and finding your own purpose. Shareef O’Neal shares what it was like growing up as Shaq’s son, undergoing open-heart surgery, walking away from basketball, and building his own legacy beyond the O’Neal name. From his viral high school basketball highlights to UCLA, LSU, and the G League, Shareef reflects on his basketball journey, the difficult road back after heart surgery, and why he ultimately decided to move on. He also breaks down his sneaker designs, the personal meaning behind his open-heart logo, and his vision for the Shaq brand. Plus, Jae’Won shares why he initially avoided rapping, CJ discusses building businesses and thinking long-term, and all three get real about the “nepo baby” label, online trolls, relationships, and the parts of growing up with celebrity parents that the public never sees.

Are celebrity kids really handed everything? In the first episode of Silver Spoons, Jae’Won, son of Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, take on the “nepo baby” label head-on, and get real about legacy, pressure, privilege, and what people on the outside never see.The guys break down the actual definition of nepotism and whether it applies to them, the NBA’s new era of second-generation stars, and what it was like growing up around Biggie’s legacy, Faith Evans’ studio sessions in Atlanta, and the Ruff Ryders era in Yonkers. Jae’Won drops a hot take on Ready to Die that CJ is NOT having, they go track-by-track through Biggie and Jadakiss albums, and pick their favorite songs and R&B features from their dads. Plus,  survivor’s guilt, getting profiled in luxury stores, being the family’s “ace in the hole,” starting therapy, a birthday arrest story, and whether their spoon was silver… or platinum.Silver Spoons is a Fanmire original.
