The 'I Got 2 Phones' meme originates from the 2015 hit single '2 Phones' by American rapper Kevin Gates. The song's hook, which mentions having one phone for 'the plug' and another for 'the load,' quickly transcended the music charts to become a staple of internet culture. Visually, the meme often features Gates holding two cellphones or simply uses the lyrics as a caption to describe situations involving multitasking, leading a double life, or managing conflicting responsibilities. It is widely used to humorously highlight the struggle of balancing work and personal life, or more cheekily, the act of hiding secrets from different social circles.
