The official music video was uploaded to Shmurda's VEVO account on August 1, 2014. The video was made in the spring of 2014 and was originally uploaded on Maine Fetti's YouTube. The place where it was recorded is still unknown[2][4]
Remixes
Freestyles by various rappers have since then been released among which Juicy J,[5] French Montana,[6] Lil' Kim,[7]Lil Wayne, Gunplay,[8] T.I.,[9]Jeezy,[10] Lil Herb,[11] Ace Hood,[12] Shy Glizzy,[13] Lewis Cox [14] Problem[15] and Soundcloud's CAKED UP version,[16] which has been widely known in the trap music genre.
Two official remixes have been released. On August 29, 2014, Shmurda released a reggae remix featuring Junior Reid, Mavado, Popcaan and Jah X.[17] Another remix featuring Fabolous, Chris Brown, Jadakiss, Rowdy Rebel, Busta Rhymes and Yo Gotti was released on September 5, 2014.[3][18]
Use in popular culture
The song and the video became popular in 2014 among Vine users, which led to the "Shmoney dance" meme (such as "Where They At Tho?", "21", and more).[3] One line from the song, "About a week ago!" appeared in the vast majority of these Vines and played a large role in the spread of the song. In July 2014, Beyoncé did the dance move on a venue of her On the Run Tour.[19] The move was also performed by NFL receiver Brandon Gibson after a touchdown.[20]
Drake used the song while hosting the 2014 ESPY Awards.[21][22]
