Haliey Welch is staging her comeback through the “Talk Tuah” podcast, teaming up with KSI after her messy HAWK token controversy. The influencer, who faced intense scrutiny when the Solana-based token crashed 93% from its $490 million peak, seems ready to rebuild her reputation. Despite mixed public reactions and Coffeezilla exposing her $125,000 compensation, Welch is pushing forward. With 230,000 Instagram followers and KSI’s star power, this collaboration might just determine her future in the spotlight.
After months of lying low following a controversial meme coin debacle, internet personality Haliey Welch has emerged from the shadows – with none other than KSI by her side. The collaboration marks Welch’s return to her podcast Talk Tuah which previously hosted heavy hitters like Mark Cuban and Wiz Khalifa before the whole HAWK token mess derailed everything.
After months of controversy, Haliey Welch makes a bold comeback alongside KSI, returning to her star-studded podcast Talk Tuah.
And what a mess it was. Welch’s endorsement of the Solana-based HAWK token saw the cryptocurrency skyrocket to a $490 million market cap before spectacularly nosediving 93%. Ouch. The incident sparked accusations of “rug pulls” and “celebrity scams,” drawing the SEC‘s attention. Digital laughter has proven to be quite profitable in the meme coin space. Though ultimately, no charges were filed, and Welch cooperated with authorities throughout the investigation.
The internet, predictably, has opinions about this comeback. While some critics are rolling their eyes at the collaboration, others are welcoming Welch back with open arms. The podcast itself carefully sidesteps the elephant in the room, avoiding direct discussion of cryptocurrency controversies. YouTuber Coffeezilla helped set the record straight by revealing that Welch only received $125,000 in compensation. Given the market volatility risks in cryptocurrency, many investors have faced similar dramatic losses. Smart move, probably.
KSI’s involvement is particularly interesting, given his own history with cryptocurrency promotions. The YouTube star-turned-boxer-turned-musician has weathered similar storms over token endorsements like XCAD Network and Ethernity Chain, though he’s consistently denied any wrongdoing. Birds of a feather, perhaps?
Before the HAWK drama, Welch had built quite the following – 230,000 Instagram followers and a successful TikTok presence that launched her into media stardom. Now she’s attempting to rebuild that empire, one podcast episode at a time. The collaboration with KSI, regardless of the mixed reactions, signals her determination to move forward.
The whole saga highlights the wild west nature of meme coins and celebrity endorsements. While Welch may have escaped legal consequences, the incident serves as a reminder of how quickly digital fortunes can turn.
As for the podcast’s future? Well, that’s anyone’s guess. But one thing’s certain – the internet never forgets.
