Boxing legend’s son calls out Hailey Welch after she butchers ‘Empire State of Mind’

Amir Tyson rips into ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ after her latest Jay-Z misstep

Hailey Welch, known across the internet as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” is back in the headlines after yet another viral moment, and this time, she’s got Amir Tyson, son of boxing legend Mike Tyson, shaking his head.

Welch, who first grabbed attention earlier this summer during a street interview at Nashville’s CMA Fest, has once again found herself at the center of a social media storm-this time for butchering the lyrics to Jay-Z’s iconic track, “Empire State of Mind.”

After skyrocketing to fame in June, Welch appeared on Bill Maher’s ‘Club Random Podcast’ in late July, where her commentary on pop culture quickly took another viral turn. The episode, which was uploaded to YouTube on July 28, featured a wide-ranging discussion on everything from the Kardashians to The Beatles. But it was the moment Maher brought up hip-hop that sent the internet into a frenzy.

Maher, showing an interest in Welch’s music taste, brought up her love for Taylor Swift and his own for classic hip-hop. Welch, trying to keep up, mentioned she was into “old rap,” leading Maher to suggest that Tupac Shakur and Jay-Z were in that category. But when Welch responded that she didn’t really listen to those artists, instead praising Jay-Z’s song “about New York,” things quickly went off the rails.

In an attempt to reference “Empire State of Mind,” Welch confidently sang out the lyrics-only she got them hilariously wrong. “He’s like, ‘concrete jungle wet dream tomato.’ You know, about New York,” she belted out, completely oblivious to her mistake. The clip made its way onto social media and eventually caught the attention of Amir Tyson, who was anything but impressed.

Welch, a self-proclaimed Swiftie, quickly chimed in, playfully suggesting that if Kelce did break things off, Swift’s next album would be fire, possibly titled “F**k Travis.” The exchange highlighted the intense media and fan speculation surrounding celebrity relationships and the frenzy they can create.

While Welch’s misstep with Jay-Z’s lyrics might have been a lighthearted mistake, it clearly struck a nerve with Amir Tyson. The question now is, will Welch’s viral fame endure, or is Amir right about the fleeting nature of internet celebrity? Regardless, the internet will be watching to see how the “Hawk Tuah Girl” handles her latest round of controversy.
