Shaquille O’Neal parties with ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl in Nashville, she coughs up saliva on his microphone

Even Shaquille O’Neal is a fan of “Hawk Tuah” girl.

The NBA legend and Haliey Welch were spotted hanging out behind the DJ booth at Jon Bon Jovi’s new restaurant and rooftop bar, JBJ’s Nashville, Sunday night.

O’Neal, whose stage name is DJ Diesel, was cranking the tunes as the 21-year-old jammed out beside him, per a fan video.

At one point, Welch gave the crowd a loud “Hawk Tuah,” even spitting on the microphone, as the crowd cheered.

The viral sensation and O’Neal, 52, appeared to have crossed paths throughout the night as they posed for a few photos while sitting at a table.

“Guess who I found in Nashville,” the retired athlete wrote on social media alongside a snap with Welch.

Welch wore a black tank top for the outing and accessorized with a Prada necklace. She styled her hair in a sleeked back bun.

As for O’Neal, he sported a black polo shirt and later changed into a black tank top.

Welch’s recent appearance with the sports analyst comes after country singer Zach Bryan invited her onstage at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Friday night.

The duo sang “Revival” together and while she missed a few key lyrics, the audience didn’t seem to mind.

Of course, Welch did her signature calling to the crowd before leaving the stage.

Welch appears to be back in the limelight after seemingly laying low when her interview about how to give good oral pleasure went viral last month.

While chatting with Tim & Dee TV in Downtown Nashville, Welch claimed that giving a man a good “Hawk Tuah” and “[spitting] on that thang” would make him go crazy in bed.

Welch has since sought to profit off her fame and recently partnered with the Tennessee-based company, Fathead Threads, to sell hats.

Signed Hawk Tuah hats have quickly sold out while several non-signed hats are still available for $32.78.
