The short answer: the 67 meme doesn’t have a single “owner,” but it mainly traces back to rapper Skrilla and his song “Doot Doot (6 7),” then blew up through TikTok edits and basketball clips.

Where the 67 meme started

  • The phrase “6‑7” (said as “six seven”) comes from Skrilla’s track “Doot Doot (6 7),” released in late 2024.
  • In the song, he repeats “6‑7” without giving it a clear meaning, which made it perfect for absurd meme culture.

Some people link “67” in the lyrics to 67th Street in Chicago or a police code reference, but Skrilla has said he never put an exact meaning on it.

Who actually made it a meme?

Rather than one meme maker, a few key players helped turn “6‑7” into the viral “67 meme”:

  1. Skrilla (the artist)
    • Created the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” that supplied the audio and the repeated “6‑7” hook.
  1. TikTok and edit creators
    • Early viral edits paired the “6‑7” part of the song with NBA highlight clips, especially LaMelo Ball.
  1. LaMelo Ball
    • LaMelo is 6'7", so editors synced “six seven” to his plays, and he later leaned into the joke himself, reinforcing the meme.
  1. The “67 Kid” (Maverick Trevillian)
    • A viral clip showed a kid at a basketball game shouting “67” with a distinctive hand gesture, and he was dubbed the “67 Kid,” giving the meme a recognizable face.

Because of all this, most coverage says no single person “made” the 67 meme ; it started from Skrilla’s song and then turned into a collaborative internet thing pushed by editors, NBA fandom, and that viral kid.

Why it’s so popular now

  • It fits “brainrot” humor: loud, catchy, kinda meaningless but fun to yell.
  • Kids and teens use “67” as a vibe/interjection more than a word with a fixed meaning.
  • It spread across TikTok, YouTube edits, sports clips, and even “horror” style SCP‑067 edits.

So if someone asks “who made the 67 meme,” the best accurate answer is:

It comes from Skrilla’s song “Doot Doot (6 7),” and the meme was made viral by TikTok editors, LaMelo Ball edits, and the “67 Kid,” rather than one creator.
