Shaquille O’Neal is taking the Hawk Tuah girl under his wing, giving Hailey Welch key advice on how to deal with fame.
Reports say the Hawk Tuah girl and the NBA icon linked up last weekend in Nashville, and he’s helping her out as she tries to deal with the influx of fame after a video went viral on TikTok.
And reports seem to be right, as she shared a photo of herself with the star last night.
She wrote: Learning to shoot with Shaq… Apparently, his accuracy is as elusive as a rare remix!”

It’s said he told her to keep her dearest close to her as people will crawl out of the woodwork to try and take advantage of her.
Reportedly, she told Shaq some of the comments she’s received since the Hawk Tuah girl video came out, and he told her to ignore the haters.
Hailey was invited onstage at Zach Bryan’s show in Nashville the day before the two partied at Music City, owned by Jon Bon Jovi.
She went viral on the video-sharing app after being asked what was a good tactic in bed.
It’s now become a meme, and people tracked down her name was Hailey Welch, giving her nickname from her video.
Now she has more than 400,000 followers on Instagram and has even been singing up on stage and meeting up with celebrities like Shaq.
At least something good came out of it!
