Amir Tyson, son of Mike Tyson, reacted angrily when Hawk Tuah, a girl rapping on Bill Maher’s ‘Club Random’ podcast, incorrectly recited Jay Z lyrics.
Haliey Welch, the Hawk Tuah girl, has garnered significant attention since going viral in June and has received invitations to various clubs, concerts, and podcasts.
During her recent appearance on Bill Maher’s podcast on July 28, she was asked about her opinion on rap music. This led to the ‘Club Random’ interview taking a surprising turn, causing a backlash from Amir Tyson, son of boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Bill mentioned his love for Jay Z and Tupac, prompting Haliey to confess that she was not familiar with their music. In an attempt to impress, she proceeded to rap along to Jay Z’s popular track ‘Empire State Of Mind’, which features Alicia Keys.
She whispered, “You know about New York, the concrete jungle and the wet dream tomato.”
Despite Bill being surprised by her limited knowledge of lyrics, Amir gained attention when a video of his passionate reaction to Haliey’s incorrect recitation of Jay Z’s lyrics went viral.
“Amir expressed his concern in his Instagram story, stating that our country is in a difficult situation. He believes that the obsession with 15 minutes of fame leading to complete irrelevancy has become excessive.”
“According to him, the only internet personalities who have truly achieved celebrity status are the Paul brothers, and possibly Speed, Kai Cenant, and Adin Ross. However, he humorously doubts that his children and grandchildren will be familiar with these streamers.”
Some viewers even agreed with Amir, expressing negative reactions to her mismatched lyrics.
A social media user who commented on the widely-circulated post about the interview expressed, “This is the reason why our country is struggling.”
Another person chimed in, saying, “Ignorant as ever.”
Despite her attempts to create memes on X, Hawk Tuah girl has been criticized for not understanding what a meme is.
Additionally, netizens criticized her for confusing dog food for human food while she was at Erewhon in Los Angeles, CA, this August.
