Among Us, the social deduction game by InnerSloth, became a huge online hit in 2020, and its word sus turned into shorthand for calling someone suspicious. Around the same period, DaBaby's confident delivery and voice became a source of rap memes and short edits. Creators began pairing the two ideas, using the rapper's energy to set up the game's familiar accusation moment. The combination spread through TikTok, YouTube Shorts and gaming streams, where a sus cue can instantly tell viewers a betrayal is coming. Its humour comes from that recognition, so it still works in edits without needing any explanation.
