Shaquille O’Neal and the “Hawk Tuah” girl didn’t just meet up this past weekend, they spent some proper time together.
The former NBA center shared photos of himself with the new internet sensation this week, revealing he ran into her in Nashville, Tennessee. The images prompted lots of comments, with Shaq getting accused of shooting his shot.
TMZ has since learned that O’Neal has become an unofficial advisor of sorts as he gave Hailey Welch lots of tips on how to handle her newfound fame.
The Diesel is said to have advised Hailey to get a team to manage her, as she would encounter many people looking to take advantage of her.
According to said publication’s sources, Welch showed Shaq some of the nasty and hateful comments she got after her “Hawk Tuah” moment went viral. In turn, he told her not to pay attention to her haters as none of them know her.
The “Hawk Tuah” Girl Got To Party With Shaq
The pair also partied together at Jon Bon Jovi’s new spot in Music City.
Hailey had gotten on stage for a performance with Zach Bryan the night before, and once Shaq saw her, he had his team contact her so she could come to his DJ gig at Bon Jovi’s joint.
TMZ claims they spoke for around an hour before the four-time NBA champion brought her up to the DJ booth, prompting lots of excitement from the crowd. It wasn’t all fun, though, as he stepped on her foot at one point.
Shaq is the last person anyone wants stepping on their foot, but the “Hawk Tuah” girl didn’t break any bones.
It’s said she now considers him a friend and someone who has her best interest at heart.

During a recent episode of the “Skip Bayless Show,” popular sports columnist Skip Bayless made bold statements about the father-son duo of LeBron and Bronny James from the Los Angeles Lakers. Bayless suggested that Bronny might possess a more significant clutch gene than LeBron, particularly when it comes to making three-pointers. He highlighted Bronny’s performance in a McDonald’s All-American Game, where Bronny hit several impressive three-pointers in crucial moments.

“I think Bronny will be pretty good. I think he’ll become a clutch three-point shooter. I’ve always gotten the feeling that Bronny had a bigger clutch gene than his father does. McDonald’s game. He was in the spotlight, and they went to him late two or three times, and he just nailed threes.” Bayless said.
After much speculation, the Lakers finally selected Bronny as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft. However, the spotlight on Bronny didn’t stop there, as NBA analysts and fans continued to talk about him, with some praising and others criticizing. Most recently, Bronny faced heavy criticism from NBA fans following his selection by the Lakers, with fans accusing him of nepotism and suggesting that he was only picked because of his father.
