The Cardi B meme, specifically the 'My Momma Said' variation, features a childhood photograph of the rapper standing with her hand on her hip and a defiant, sassy expression. First going viral on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram in mid-2018, the image became an instant symbol for petty childhood demands and entitled behavior. Users typically add captions starting with the phrase 'My momma said' to mock the specific way younger siblings or neighbors would act when they wanted to force their way into a game or reveal a secret. Its longevity stems from its high relatability, perfectly capturing the universal experience of dealing with a bossy peer or a tattletale.
