The hell naw phrase has circulated for years in everyday slang as an emphatic, humorous way to say absolutely not, and short sung versions became popular as reaction audio online. Clips built around the line spread through meme edits, short videos and soundboards because the wording is instantly understood and the musical delivery makes it easy to reuse. Its lasting appeal comes from that flexibility, it can signal disbelief, refusal or playful horror in a few seconds without needing any explanation or setup for new viewers watching.
