Caitlyn Jenner launched her JENNER Solana meme coin on Sunday through Pump.fun. Now, two days later, the Olympic gold medalist is claiming Sahil Arora, the promoter she worked with, owes her “lots of money.”
Decrypt reported that Arora helped launch the meme coin on Monday, Jenner got in touch to say that the crypto promoter owed her a lot of money. “He has gone radio silent after showing a couple of wire transfers,” Jenner told Decrypt.
But she didn’t stop there. Not long after she sent the message, she made her thoughts on Arora public. “FUCK SAHIL! He scammed us! BIG TIME!” she said, in response to a Decrypt reporter’s tweet.
FUCK SAHIL!
He scammed us!
BIG TIME!

Arora claims to be well-connected with celebrities for whom he says he helped launch crypto projects. He said his client list includes actress Lindsay Lohan, rapper Soulja Boy, and former One Direction singer Liam Payne. However, there are many skeptics that claim Arora hurts projects more than he helps them. But Arora has dismissed those claims as “dumb bs.”
None of the celebrities named above immediately responded to Decrypt’s request for comment.
But now Caitlyn Jenner is adding fuel to this fire, only a day after American rapper Rich the Kid made the similar claims.
Despite Jenner’s claim that Arora has gone “radio silent,” the crypto promoter told Decrypt he’s still in touch with her camp. “[I] just don’t like how she became a key opinion leader,” he said.
This is likely in response to Jenner promoting another token, BBARK, amid the launch of JENNER. Arora quickly confirmed to Decrypt that he had no involvement in Jenner’s BBARK project, calling it a “stupid paid shill.”
MAJOR: 🚨 🚨 🚨
That ad for a third party token was taken down!
As I have said from the beginning the only focus I have is $Jenner and the ad I posted confused too many people, and was not worth it.
Like I had said time and time again I’m fully focused on my token $Jenner— Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner) May 27, 2024
Jenner soon took down the BBARK post and issued an apology, claiming that she is “fully focused” on the original token created by Arora. She promised to keep promoting JENNER and said that Arora is “fully out at the moment.”
Meanwhile the truth behind Arora’s current standing with Caitlyn Jenner remains murky.
Before Jenner claimed to be on the outs with him on Twitter, the crypto promoter told his Telegram group he had a new project with rapper Iggy Azalea on the way. As news from the group of over 7,500 people began to spread, the Australian artist took to Twitter to claim that she’s been in contact with Arora enough to “smell he’s a bitch.”

The crypto promoter sent this tweet to Decrypt via Telegram DMs saying, “Lot coming. Keep your eyes peeled.” Meanwhile, in his Telegram group, he claims that the Australian rapper will launch the token at 1P.M. PDT.
At the time of writing the JENNER Solana meme coin is down 26% from its all-time high reached less than 24 hours ago, according to DEX Screener.
