The catchy ‘Bacon, egg and cheese’ song by New York rapper Wavyrioo has become a viral trend on TikTok. Here’s everything to know about it.
This 2022 song, originally a tribute to the iconic New York City breakfast sandwich, has transformed into a meme powerhouse on TikTok in 2025.
The trend often revolves around the question, “How you know I’m Dominican?” with the song acting as an affirmative response. Memes using the track frequently depict Dominican men in tight-fitting clothes, such as skinny jeans and fitted T-shirts, playing on a stereotype about their fashion sense.
TikTok users have also incorporated the popular Druski Dancing format and featured popular streamer Fanum, who is famously Dominican.

The song’s TikTok journey began when Wavyrioo posted a clip from the video on August 24, 2022, which garnered over 1.7 million views. While the sound saw minor use initially, it resurfaced as a viral meme in February 2025.
