The line comes from Michael Dapaah's comedy-rap persona Big Shaq and his 2017 single Man's Not Hot, which grew out of a freestyle on Charlie Sloth's BBC Radio 1Xtra show. The exaggerated skrrra ad-lib, mimicking gunfire, became one of the song's most quoted moments and a standalone meme. Remix versions with heavier beats spread across YouTube, TikTok and meme soundboards, where the short vocal works as an instant punchline. Its continued use relies on instant recognition rather than the full song.
