As a Former Street Nigga Myself

As A Former Street Nigga Myself refers to a viral tweet made by Twitter / X user @chickenjorhe in January 2022 in which he commented on American rapper Lil Durk deleting his social media, writing, "As a former street nigga myself, I know what dat means." The catchphrase was later picked up by X user @Toriquex1 and paired with a picture of a kid doing a prayer hand gesture. In May 2024, TikTok user @charleybournetruecrime revealed that the kid featured in the meme was Ethan Crumbley, the shooter of the Oxford High School who killed four Michigan students in 2021.
