A new meme called “Blasting Fetty Wap on the JBL Speaker” has been going viral on TikTok. Accordingly, fans have become interested in learning what the meme is and how it originated. Recently, TikTok has seen a meteoric rise in unique memes like “Goodbye to My Chinese Spy,” and “Hyperpigmentation.”
So, let’s explore the origins of the “Blasting Fetty Wap on the JBL Speaker” meme as well as its meaning.
‘Blasting Fetty Wap on the JBL Speaker’ meme explained
The “Blasting Fetty Wap on the JBL Speaker” meme is basically about people playing rapper Fetty Wap’s songs at odd moments by using a JBL Bluetooth speaker. This idea is basically evoked by users when sharing edited videos of clips from film and television media, which have a historical or fictional context, and background audio of Fetty Wap’s music.
This trend kicked off on January 10, 2025, when TikTok user @purelyaesthetic11 put up a slideshow of historical pictures, with Fetty Wap’s song, “Again,” playing in the background. Here, he jokingly suggested introducing historical people to Fetty Wap’s music. This video amassed 701k likes. “How do you think the pilgrims would react if I pulled up to the mayflower with my jbl speaker and introduced them to fetty wap,” he captioned the slideshow.
This led to multiple other videos with historical context also adopting this trend. For instance, the official TikTok account of Jetstar Australia shared a clip that was captioned, “Footage of the first aeroplane ever pulling up in Aus with the JBL blasting fetty (circa. 1637).”
The “Blasting Fetty Wap on the JBL Speaker” meme soon went beyond the historical context usage. TikTokers also began using it in videos that were about fictional films and television shows. For example, a user called @underrated.scenes shared a clip from Pirates of the Caribbean. They wrote the caption, “Jack Sparrow pullin’ up with fetty wap blasting on the JBL speaker.”
Another user named @jakob_aanensen used the meme in a clip from Captain America: Civil War. Here, he suggested the idea of Iron Man blasting Fetty Wap from JBL speakers while analyzing Captain America’s fighting pattern.
Meanwhile, the rapper Fetty Wap himself has not yet reacted to this viral meme, as of writing. However, its continued usage and growing popularity indicate that it may not fade into obscurity anytime soon.
