Fans might be saying goodbye to Hawk Tuah Girl sooner than expected. 22-year-old Haliey Welch became an overnight viral sensation in June when her graphic depiction of oral sex made waves on TikTok. However, now that her brand is growing, Welch is trying to clean up her image a little bit more.
During a recent appearance on on theย dating show West Date Ever, the influencer got candid about her feelings towards her infamous nickname. When asked, “Are you okay with the name Hawk Tuah Girl?” Welch bluntly answered, “we’re trying to step away from it.” She admitted to host West Wilson that she would prefer to be addressed as Haliey. “I’d rather just be known by my first name, not Ms Hawk,” she explained. However, despite wanting a rebrand, Welch intends to profit off her fame as Hawk Tuah Girl.
“Weโre steering towards podcasts and stuff like that. And aย reality TVย show, weโve talked about it.”
She, however, didn’t go into details about what the new projects would entail. Previously, Wilson opened up about his desire to help Welch leave the NSFW nickname behind. “Everyone has a story and I wanted to get to know more about her and help her leave “Hawk Tuah” in the past,” he told Page Six.
Hawk Tuah Girl & Yung Gravy Get Into It Over Dating Rumors
Welch’s revelation about her nickname comes after she made headlines for an alleged romantic proposal from rapper Yung Gravy. The drama began when the Internet personality named dropped the rapper as someone who has tried to get with her due to her fame. She alleged that Gravy slid into her DMs and asked her out. However, she turned him down because he wasnโt so โcleanโ or โdelicious.โ
Following her claims, Yung Gravy took to X, formerly called Twitter, to set the record straight. He uploaded screenshots of their conversation to prove that he only messaged her to become her friend. Nothing more. The Betty artist wanted Welch to come to his show the next month. Alongside the screenshot, he wrote “canโt be nice anymore lol.” Neither party has addressed the drama ever since.
