Haliey Welch, also known as "Hawk Tuah," is speaking out about the attention she's been getting from celebrities, including one rapper who's already asked her out on a proper date. We caught up with Haliey outside the Westin Hotel in New York City, where she revealed that Yung Gravy slid into her DMs after she gained viral fame for her memorable "spit on that thang" moment.
According to Haliey, Yung Gravy asked her out on a date, but her reaction was far from enthusiastic. In the video, she makes it clear that she doesn’t find the rapper "so clean" or "so delicious."
It's not surprising that Yung Gravy tried his luck—he's known for making bold moves with other celebrities, including Sofia Vergara after her split from Joe Manganiello, and Addison Rae's mom, Sheri Easterling, who joined him at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards.
Haliey's response aligns with her down-to-earth persona—she’s a Tennessee girl, not someone chasing Hollywood fame. Despite offers that could bring her more attention and money, she’s stayed true to herself by turning them down.

That said, Haliey isn’t shying away from business opportunities. She’s already filed several trademarks for "Hawk Tuah"-branded products, including BBQ sauce, sunflower seeds, mouthwash, and even a sports betting service.
It seems Haliey's moment in the spotlight is lasting longer than the usual 15 minutes, so it might be wise not to bet against her.
