The Mustard! meme: How Kendrick Lamar created an internet sensation

One of the most notable songs from Kendrick Lamar's album GNX, TV Off was the track that started the sensational meme. In the song, Lamar dramatically yells out the producer's name for five seconds on the track. It was unexpected yet it took the world by storm. It immediately became a worldwide meme.

Edits and remixes were all over the internet. From food to sports, it was all over the internet.

Big brands quickly took advantage of the sensational meme. The American food processing company brand Heinz joked about renaming its mustard bottles. They are also planning on releasing a new mustard sauce along with the producer himself.

McDonald's posted a photo of its honey mustard sauce on Twitter with the caption, "Honey MUSTAAAAAAAAARD."

Which was later retweeted by the producer Mustard.

The NFL players and NBA teams also use it to show their highlight clips. A clip of Lebron dancing and yelling MUSTAARRRDDD! is shown below,
