Plies Hops On Viral “Hawk Tuah” Craze With New single
Plies wasted no time turning the “Hawk Tuah” mania into a hit song. In the spirit of Independence Day, the Florida rapper released “Hawk Tuah” on Thursday, July 4, inspired by the latest viral saying from 21-year-old Nashville influencer Hailey Welch.
The phrase “Hawk Tuah” went viral after Welch appeared in a Tim & Dee TV interview. When asked with a friend to name “one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time,” Welch confidently responded, “Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang. You get me?” This bold declaration quickly captured the internet’s attention and inspired Plies’ new track.
In “Hawk Tuah,” Plies raps, “She just hit my line and say she wanna come through, I just hit her back and told her ‘Pull up on me, boo’ / I been on that drank, it got me feeling rock too, told her when she come make sure to bring the hawk tuah.”
There’s no word yet on whether Welch has heard the song, but she’s been making moves of her own. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Welch recently signed with management firm The Penthouse. “Please don’t wake me. Two weeks ago, it was just my Granny and me in itty bitty Belfast, Tennessee. Then I say something silly and now my life has changed. Isn’t God great?! Can’t wait for what’s ahead,” Welch said in a statement.
With Welch now rubbing shoulders with Shaquille O’Neal and leaving her previous job at a spring box factory, we might soon hear her featured on a “Hawk Tuah” remix.
