Back in the day when Shaquille O’Neal was the first platinum rapping NBA player, he made a song titled “Biological didn’t bother” which was in dedication to his birth father who was absent, and paid tribute to his step-father, Philip Harris who stepped up and cared for him.

While it’s not a rap song, LeBron posted a photo on Instagram thanking his father for his absence in King James life.

Because of you Pops! Thanks all along. Could have said why me with u not being there but look what I made of myself. Thanks to Huffington Post for the graphic. #StriveForGreatness
