In the weeks since his 2016 song "Tell On Me" ft. Kevin Gates unexpectedly surged to viral prominence, Supa King Big Pope has been making the most of his second chance. Today, the Huntsville, AL veteran keeps the train rolling, calling up Texas diva Tay Money to contribute a new verse "Tell On Me 3." Following up Supa King's original verse and hook, Tay Money transforms the song into a dialogue, as she displays fierce loyalty to the select few lucky enough to give her what she needs and provides a definitive answer to the question in the viral hook: "If he beat that p**** I'm not gon' let him leave/If he beat that p**** up, I'll show his b*tch receipts!," she spits. Tay Money's remix follows "Tell On Me 2," Supa King's initial remix, which featured a fiery guest verse from Fredo Bang.
"Tell On Me" earned its improbable second wind earlier this year, after a series of TikTok trends spurred the song to #1 on the Billboard TikTok Top 50 chart earlier this year, where it stayed for two weeks. "Tell On Me" first started to percolate in early January, with a airplane-themed CapCut trend that allowed users to flex their creativity. The trend truly took off later in the month with a viral dance trend, in which creators on TikTok suggestively dance in bathrooms, or on doors, as Supa King poses a sincere question about the ethics of kissing and telling. The trend has since spread significantly, with celebrities like Steve Lacy, Finesse2Tymes, Coi Leray, and even pets attempting the trend. Red hot Chicago rapper Babychiefdoit recorded his own remix of the song, racking up over 500k views on YouTube. Even Kevin Gates himself has tapped in. This week, "Tell On Me" reached a new milestone, as it surpassed 2.5 billion short-form video viewsacross platforms, with over 1.3 million video creations to date, and tens of thousands of streams per day. The song is still generating over 400k video creations per week, with tens of millions of views every day, behind a new camera-switching trend that picked up steam on TikTok earlier this month.
A fixture in Huntsville, Alabama–a city with a rich rap tradition–for more than two decades, Supa King Big Pope started his career in his teens as a member of Slowmotion Soundz, a collective best known for "Lacs & Prices," a collaboration with a pre-fame T.I. After legal troubles repeatedly derailed his momentum over the years, Pope dedicated his life to providing for his family and uplifting his community, but he never stopped making music. When he learned from his nieces that his song was trending on TikTok, Supa King took the news as an unexpected blessing, and a long-delayed onramp for him back into the rap game.
Now as "Tell On Me" continues its improbable run, Supa King is ready to seize his moment. He knows he was put on this earth to rap, and after a carer full of setbacks, he is finally free to share his gift with the rest of the world.
