The phrase comes from casual Malay chat, where depa is a northern dialect word for they, and the full line is used as a heads-up that something has a new fault or trick. As a WhatsApp voice note, it travelled the way short reaction audios usually do, forwarded between friends and groups and then reused as a soundboard clip for gaming and tech fails. Its appeal is its brevity and recognisable gossip tone, which lets creators signal a glitch without explaining it. That shareable setup keeps it useful whenever a new bug, exploit or odd screen moment appears.
