The Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely meme features the two signature artists of Playboi Carti’s Opium label, often depicted in high-fashion streetwear or during their joint performances. As the dynamic duo of the modern underground rap scene, their imagery is widely used to represent close friendships, elite fashion tastes, or the specific dark, edgy aesthetic associated with their music. These memes exploded in popularity on platforms like TikTok and X (Twitter) as fans began pairing photos of the two with humorous captions about loyalty, 'pulling up' to events in Rick Owens, or comparing the distinct vibes of the two rappers.
