About

I'm Talking About Innit refers to a catchphrase and TikTok trend inspired by the song "Innit," by Atlanta based rappers BunnaB and YKNiece, with internet users posting videos set to the lyrics, "I'm talm 'bout innit," and doing a swimming gesture with their hands. The trend originally began as an off shoot of the Pluto and YKNiece song "Whim Whamiee," and morphed into a dance move where people do a swimming gesture and stick their tongue out, also seen in videos about Sharking All Summer.
