Instagram has been inundated with “nah he tweakin” irrespective of what the post is or its context. But what is it about? How did this trend begin?

It all started with @rap posting a photo of ace skateboarder Tony Hawk with the caption “#TonyHawk’s blood is being used in $500 limited-edition skateboards. Y’all rockin with it.” Lil Nas X left a comment on the post: “nah he tweakin.”

“@rap commented, “Nah he tweakin” comments started flooding the biggest Instagram pages after #LilNasX commented on our #TonyHawk post about selling skateboards that is infused with his blood, Lil Nas X says “Nah he tweakin”. What y’all think about this”

Earlier, Tony Hawk made an announcement stating he has partnered with Liquid Death, a beverage company for a limited run of skateboards. According to Buzzfeed, Hawk has given two vials of blood which would be mixed with red paint and splattered on a skateboard. The skateboard will be sold for $500.

This prompted rapper Lil Nas X to tweet, “now that tony hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage, are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes? and maybe u were mad for some other reason?”
