An NBA legend is now getting in on the “Hawk Tuah” rise to stardom.
The internet’s newest sensation, Hailey Welch — AKA, “Hawk Tuah Girl” — was spotted with Shaquille O’Neal at JBJ’s Nashville on Sunday, according to TMZ, and at one point in the outing, she coughed up saliva on one of his microphones as he DJed at the Jon Bon Jovi-owner bar.
The Diesel and Welch talked for a while before posing for some pictures and she joined him in the DJ booth.
DJ Diesel — Shaq’s nom-du-spin — wasn’t the only musical act Welch got to hang with in the Music City.
She also got up on stage – and stole the show – alongside Zach Bryan during his tour stop in the Tennessee capital.
It was a big weekend for Welch, who is making the most of her internet fame, garnered by explaining her NSFW approach to oral sex.
She gave her first interview to Barstool Sports’ “Plan Bri Uncut” podcast, discussing her rise to stardom and dispelling many of the myths surrounding her.
“It’s kind of creepy, seeing your face on another account that don’t belong to you,” she said of her viral fame.
She’s indeed been referenced almost everywhere at this point.
Logan Paul pulled out a “Hawk Tuah” move from his bag of tricks in his latest WWE performance in New York on Friday night.
When the NBA’s Pelicans acquired Dejounte Murray in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks, an X user joked New Orleans newspaper, The Times-Picayune, would be “slacking if the headline tomorrow isn’t FROM A HAWK TUAH PELICAN.”
