Before Louis Theroux’s rap became a TikTok sound, it was originally featured in his hit documentary show Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends. Airing back in 2000, the last episode of Season 3 ‘Gangster Rap’ had Theroux faced with the task of laying down some bars for American radio listeners.
While Theroux doesn’t initially get off to a smooth start, the filmmaker eventually debuts the famous lyrics “my money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds.”
Now, after 22 years the rap has found new life on TikTok, as Theroux’s rapping has been transformed into a popular TikTok sound. However, the version we’ve become accustomed to is from the YouTube series Chicken Shop Date.
