The Viral Trend That REUNITED 4 Non Blondes

The 1993 hit "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes is back, but not as you remember it. A viral TikTok trend, mashing up the alt-rock anthem with Nicki Minaj's "Beez in the Trap" , has led to a "Resurrection by Remix." This trend is so powerful, it has inspired a 4 Non Blondes reunion after nearly 30 years.  

In this video, we dive deep into the story of the "And I say HEYYY... Beez in the trap?" trend that has taken over TikTok. We trace its origins, from a "bottom-up" remix by user @dj.auxlord , to its explosion as a celebrity trend featuring everyone from Jennifer Lopez and Linda Perry (the original songwriter!) to Malala Yousafzai and Jimmy Fallon.  

We explore the meaning behind the mashup—the clash of 90s angst ("What's going on?") with modern hustle culture ("Beez in the trap" means "always making money"). We also contrast this "bottom-up" phenomenon with the "top-down" revival of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" by Stranger Things.  

Finally, we reveal the real-world impact of this viral resurrection: "What's Up?" has officially joined the Spotify Billions Club , and 4 Non Blondes have announced their first reunion shows in decades as a direct result.
