The 23-year-old was spotted onstage with Bryan on Saturday night during his ‘Quittin Time’ tour at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
O’Neal isn’t the first sports star to join in on the craze. WWE star Logan Paul also sent social media into a frenzy by performing a move called the “Hawk Tuah” at his latest performance in New York on Friday night.
Welch is even getting subtle mentions in print headlines. On Friday, social media user Jono Barnes made a hilarious suggestion to New Orleans’ The Times Picayune newspaper after the city’s NBA team, the Pelicans, sealed a trade for Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks.
Barnes posted on X: ‘The Times Picayune will relax if tomorrow’s headline isn’t FROM A HAWK TUAH PELICAN.’
And to their disbelief, it was revealed later that evening that the publication had indeed run the headline ‘FROM A HAWK TO A PELICAN’ on the front page of its Saturday edition.
