In the Youtube video, Addison talks about the song at 1:25, she talks about the song Addison Rae by The Kid LAROI. In her kind, bubbly way she says a small snippet of the song, something like this: “I need a bad bleep (uh) Addison Rae, lil’ shorty the baddest, yeah, and she got her way. So, these lyrics are obviously very heartfelt to me, because I am Addison Rae!” And the second people saw that snippet, the clip went viral. Hundreds of people on TikTok were imitating her, but as a joke.

Everyone was enjoying the hilarious meme, and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. Well, it just went downhill from there.
