While the exact origins of the Give Me My Money TikTok trend remain somewhat unclear, many attribute its inception to popular streamer Kai Cenat. During a January 2024 livestream featuring rapper DreamDoll, Cenat is believed to have introduced the phrase that would soon become a TikTok phenomenon.

Interestingly, the trend bears a striking resemblance to a scene from the 2002 film “Paid in Full,” where the phrase is repeated several times. This connection has led some to speculate that the movie may have provided the initial inspiration for the viral challenge.

As with many viral trends, the Give Me My Money TikTok phenomenon has sparked creativity among users, with some adding their own unique twists to the format.
