In the video, she discusses the importance of taking care of one’s mother, especially if you’ve reached a certain level of financial freedom.
“What I don’t like is if the business is true and you left your moms in the hood, somebody go smoke that yute,” she said. “You don’t leave your moms nowhere. You have money and you left your moms there? Yo, you’re sick to my stomach.”

The sound of the video alone has already been used in over 3,000 videos on the platform, with people lip-syncing along to the accent and one person even suggesting that Drake should use the clip as a sample in his next track.
Despite many people being captivated by the accent, others who live in or are from Toronto stressed that most people in the city don’t have this accent.
“I’ve lived in Toronto my whole life and never heard someone speak like this,” one person said.
