This meme stems from the legendary producer tag used by Metro Boomin, specifically the line voiced by rapper Future: 'If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you.' While the tag had been used previously, it achieved viral status in 2016 following its inclusion in Kanye West’s 'Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1.' The phrase quickly evolved from a musical signature into a widespread internet catchphrase and image macro used to signify extreme distrust or to humorously threaten someone who isn't 'certified.' It remains one of the most recognizable audio-based memes in hip-hop history, often paired with images of Metro Boomin in the studio or people looking suspiciously at the camera.
