The 'Man's Not Hot' meme originated from a freestyle rap by comedian Michael Dapaah, performing as his character Big Shaq on BBC Radio 1Xtra's 'Fire in the Booth' in August 2017. The performance became an instant viral sensation due to Dapaah's deadpan delivery, absurdly realistic onomatopoeia sound effects (like 'skraaaa'), and his stubborn refusal to remove his thick winter coat despite the high temperatures. The meme represents ultimate confidence and stubbornness, often used in situations where someone refuses to admit discomfort or is acting overly 'tough' in illogical circumstances. It transcended the UK rap scene to become a global internet phenomenon, spawning a chart-topping single and millions of parodies.
