Big Shaq is a character created by British comedian Michael Dapaah, who performed the freestyle on BBC Radio 1Xtra's Fire in the Booth in 2017. Released as Man's Not Hot later that year, the parody of roadman culture spread quickly through clips, remixes and lyric quotes online. The extended skrra section became a standalone meme separate from the full song, shared because the delivery is instantly quotable and easy to recognise even without the beat or the rest of the lyrics.
