What is the 'I wanna kill my mom' trend on TikTok?

A viral audio clip of a kid aggressively singing “I wanna kill my mom” has sparked a new TikTok trend, nd it’s just as bizarre as it sounds.

The sound of a raging child scream-singing, “I wanna kill my mom” has been making the rounds on the short-form app.

The audio’s taken from a YouTube video posted by the vlog channel DuB Family, titled ‘Woo Wop Acts Emo Front Of Everyone.’ In the clip, social media child star Woo Wop and his dad, DuB Bridge, prank their family.

Woo Wop is seen dressed in a black beanie, a red top reading “evil”, and multiple chains hanging from his clothes and around his neck. He pranks his relatives by acting and screaming like an emo rapper.

At one point, he starts singing, “I wanna kill my mom. I wanna kill my dad. I wanna kill my grandma,” in a hoarse voice, leaving the family members shocked.

The video garnered over 4.4 million views on YouTube, and soon enough, Woo Wop’s dramatic scream-singing audio became a TikTok trend.
