Shaquille O'Neal has set social media ablaze after being spotted alongside the new internet sensation 'Hawk Tuah' girl.

The NBA legend posed for a picture alongside Hailey Welch, who is responsible for a viral clip in which she gives a graphic demonstration of how to give good oral sex.

In one picture, O'Neal could be seen staring into the girl's eyes, while in the other he is posing alongside Welch and a friend who also appeared in the viral video. 

Since the clip flooded social media, Welch has gained a huge social media following. She has cashed in, too, releasing merchandise of the now-iconic catchphrase.

In a video which has now flooded social media, the girl described her sexual exploits
