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.

Bronny James has frequently been in the headlines in the last couple of weeks, especially around the NBA Draft. Since he arrived in the league, the young guard has been receiving heavy criticism because of his relationship with LeBron James. Some support also came his way, and the latest one would surely melt everyone’s heart.

Bronny’s grandmother and LeBron’s mother, Gloria, penned a heartwarming message to Junior James about his recent achievement. Gloria posted pictures of her grandson on Instagram and chose to share her emotions in the captions. She wrote how Bronny’s draft on the second night made her recall the first time she saw him as a newborn.

Moreover, Gloria stated, “Over the years of his life, I’ve watched him grow into the AMAZING young man that he is today. And how proud and how honored I am to be his grandmother.” She expressed her happiness that Bronny could accomplish his dreams through his hard work.

Having seen her son establish a remarkable career in the NBA, Gloria would wish the same for Bronny. Even though the younger one doesn’t possess the same abilities as his father, the 19-year-old can sharpen his skills while playing with his superstar father in the Purple and Gold. However, recent reports suggest the Lakers have a different plan for the former USC guard.
