You’ve seen it. There’s no way you haven’t seen it. Not only is it all over the internet, your favourite celebrities have hopped on it. We are talking about the trend, get your mind out the gutter.
But just in case you missed it somehow, here’s the quick rundown of the #FTD challenge. New Orleans rapper, GameOva Reedy, dropped a track called ‘Freestyle’ April this year. The track is about the awkward and hilarious things she would do to enjoy the pleasure of some good male genitalia.
The rest caught hold of the song, fell in love with and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then regular people, police officers, superstars like Issa Rae, Erykah Badu, Cardi B and Tiffany Haddish have all released their own versions of the viral jam.
While she is happy about all the hype the song is getting, Reedy is also not pleased about the fact that she does not believe she is getting credit for the song.
With over a million views online, she complained in a new video about the song she recorded because of how the crowds responded when she would perform it live.
‘ I was so hype off the crowd, I started rapping. It just came to my head and I started rapping, the crowd went crazy so every show I would perform at, I would always just rap it and everybody was like, you know, make it a song.’
She further explained: ‘I haven’t received no extra benefits from this song whatsoever,” the rapper continues. “Not a single dime, no endorsements, no anything. I’m highly upset because I’m not getting the credit that I deserve and today was the first day I ever spoke on it. I just kept ignoring it, but when you wake up everyday and everybody’s tagging you in something and everybody’s giving this girl credit for something that she didn’t create, it don’t matter if she didn’t say the exact words that I said but she did say ‘for that dick.’ When I did it, a lot of people liked it and other people said it was stupid. But now, it’s a bunch of dickriders, acting like it’s all good and it’s all that. Everybody’s doing it but I did this.’
How does Reedy feel about her new celebrity fans? :
‘I love Cardi B’s freestyle, I love Erykah Badu, Michael Blackson, everybody who I seen, I loved it. The actor, the cop. I loved it all. I loved everybody who did it, it’s just made me like I’m a trendsetter.’
