Chopped Chin (original)

yes

Chopped Chin or I've Been Running Into You In My Head is a series of memes based on a viral video of former WNBA player Renee Montgomery dancing courtside with high schooler Angel Wiley (her adopted son) referred to as "chopped chin" for the appearance of his chin, at an Atlanta Dream basketball game. The video was originally uploaded to the Atlanta Dream Instagram page in August 2023. It became the subject of memes in December 2024 when Instagram user halal_man_2 began consistently posting motivational and emotional quotes over the video, inspiring ironic memes set to the song "Bring Me Back (Enox Mantano Remix)" by Miles Away, which refer to Montgomery's cousin as "chopped chin." In this case, "chopped" is being used as slang meaning "ugly." "Chopped Chin" is also used to refer to halal_man_2's account. The videos sparked a slew of brainrot, lobotomy videos in the Hood Irony community in January 2025, which spliced Chopped Chin with other trendy memes like I Bought a Property in Egypt, Eye of Rah and Luke Belmar's "Johnnie Walker in the War Room With Tristan Tate," among others. The meme also spread to TikTok that month.
