The viral remix of “What’s Up?” and “Super Bass” takes over TikTok with hilarious and unexpected results.


October 24, 2025: TikTok users have once again turned an unlikely music combo into a viral sensation — this time blending Nicki Minaj’s energetic hit “Super Bass” with 4 Non Blondes’ 1993 classic “What’s Up?”. The bizarre yet addictive mashup has exploded across the platform, inspiring thousands of memes, skits, and lip-sync videos.

A Mix No One Expected — But Everyone’s Loving

The mashup, often referred to as “What’s Up, Super Bass”, pairs Linda Perry’s soulful wail of “Hey, what’s going on?” with Nicki Minaj’s fast-paced verses. What could’ve been chaotic somehow works perfectly — thanks to clever audio editing and the app’s knack for absurdly catchy trends.

The viral sound has racked up millions of views, with users remixing it into dance routines, emotional parodies, and comedic edits. Some creators even call it “the unhinged anthem of 2025.”

Nicki Minaj Fans Join the Fun

Barbz — Nicki Minaj’s devoted fanbase — quickly jumped in to celebrate the unexpected revival of “Super Bass.” Many praised how the mashup showcases Nicki’s flow in a completely new context, while others joked that “Linda Perry and Nicki Minaj accidentally created world peace.”

Clips of users pretending to have emotional breakdowns while lip-syncing to the combo have become a TikTok staple, blending humor, nostalgia, and chaos in equal measure.

From Meme to Music Moment

Like many TikTok trends, the mashup’s success highlights the platform’s ability to blur generational and genre boundaries. For Gen Z and millennials alike, it’s a crossover that bridges ’90s alt-rock and 2010s pop-rap — two eras rarely mentioned in the same breath.

Music producers are now rushing to release full-length versions of the viral sound, and some fans are even demanding a real collaboration between Nicki Minaj and 4 Non Blondes — though that’s probably wishful thinking.
