Tallzz has a growing presence on social media, with around 250.7K followers on TikTok and 48.5K on Instagram. She's a 4-foot-11 UNLV grad who loves to eat food and make a living out of it. She had a blast hanging out with O'Neal, who tried setting her up with someone in the restaurant.

"If I have one more thing to say, Uncle Shaq, if you're watching this, can you set me up with an NBA player next time, pretty please?"
