But the talented young buck has an O.G. to acknowledge on his path to Internet glory.
Back in 2009, at just 13 years old, Ebony Jenkins uploaded a YouTube video that will never be forgotten.

After 1.5 million YouTube views, countless memes and a highly-scientific Twitter poll that rated Ebony over Beyoncé, it’s impossible to deny her status as a viral legend at this point.
Shoutout to Ebony’s mom, who inspired her daughter’s dreams with that perfectly timed “shut up.”
In case you were wondering, Ebony is a proud mother as of 2016.

Much love to Ebony and her family and bless that little Walmart cowboy’s heart.
