The six seven phrase spread from Skrilla's 2024 song Doot Doot (6 7), where the numbers are chanted as a hook. On TikTok in early 2025 the clip was linked to basketball player LaMelo Ball, who is listed at six foot seven, and to highlight edits of tall players. From there 6-7 became throwaway slang among younger users, often said for no reason beyond recognition. Its short canned version is now shared as a soundboard staple for edits, streams and chats.
