The line is associated with Chris Smoove, a creator known online for basketball gaming commentary where splash is a familiar call for a clean shot. The cash and splash rhyme turned that call into a portable joke about getting paid and scoring at the same time. Short clips of the phrase spread through meme edits, gaming videos and soundboards, where the full setup could be reused without explanation. It remains popular because the rhyme is easy to remember, instantly recognisable, and fits both sports highlights and money flexes.
