Hailey Welch, the 22-year-old internet sensation behind the viral “Hawk Tuah” clip, is at the center of shocking rumors and controversy.
Claims of Welch’s death began circulating on social media, leaving fans stunned and searching for confirmation. As of now, no reliable sources have authenticated the news of her alleged passing.
The speculation comes amid allegations that Welch was involved in a crypto scam linked to her recently launched memecoin, $HAWK. The coin debuted on the Solana blockchain and quickly skyrocketed to a market capitalization of $500 million. However, within just 20 minutes, its value plummeted to $60 million, sparking accusations of a "rug pull" or "pump-and-dump" scheme.
In a rug pull, developers behind a cryptocurrency withdraw all funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. This alleged scheme has resulted in significant financial losses for Welch’s loyal followers, many of whom feel betrayed. While some fans continue to support Welch, others are questioning whether her rapid success in the crypto space was legitimate or a calculated scam.
The rumor of Welch’s death originated from a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) by a user with over 24,000 followers. The post stated, “Breaking News: Hailey Welch found dead at the age of 22.” Despite the buzz, no official statements have confirmed Welch’s demise, leaving her fans confused and concerned.
As the controversy around $HAWK and the death rumors unfolds, Welch’s reputation as the “Hawk Tuah” girl remains deeply affected.
