Who's 'Lil T Man' And Why Are People Saying He's Dead? The 'Galaxy Gas' Atlanta Fiend Causing Memes On TikTok Explained

Lil T Man is just a kid from Atlanta who loves Galaxy Gas. It's no surprise why his viral video had a lasting impact on TikTok, making him a viral meme.

However, some people are saying that Lil T Man has passed away. There's a RapTV infographic floating around the meme sphere that is confusing some but making others laugh because, Lil T Man isn't dead. Let's explain.

What's The 'My Name Lil T Man' Orignal Video?

Last month, an Atlanta restaurant posted an Instagram Reel in which two teen boys were taste-testing the burgers, fries and wings. One of the young men was holding a Galaxy Gas whippet (which is a very trendy activity at the moment) and wearing a Nike sheisty paired with a boohooMAN hoodie.

When asked, "What's your name, where you from?" by the female employee and cameraperson, the kid takes a drag of his nitrous tank and says, "My name Lil T, man." His voice dips down an octave when he does so.

The original video racked up more than a million likes in less than a month. It's been oddly good publicity for Lost In Da Souse Kitchen where it all went down.

Who Is 'Lil T Man?'

The true identity of Lil T Man is currently unknown. As far as we know, he lives down the street from Lost In Da Souse Kitchen which is located in the Atlanta suburb of College Park, Georgia.

Some believe that he didn't even say "Lil T" but instead said "Lil T-Jay." Again, though, this is unconfirmed.

What's The 'Lil T Man' Meme?

This month, the Lil T Man video has become a viral meme, mostly because it's indicative of the Galaxy Gas epidemic that's replacing vaping in the meme world's perception of popular inhalable past-times. The Galaxy Gas fanatics are being called YNs by Black creators witnessing the phenomenon.

Objectively, the video is hilarious. This kid, huffing on what looks like a caulk canister, saying his name in the deepest voice possible hits at so many levels. It begs for a second or third watch.

In turn, people are humorously recreating it or using the video's audio in video skits. Furthermore, Lil T Man has become a character removed from the original man. People are now forming his lore, speculating his origins, motives and lifestyle.

Is Lil T Man Dead?

A rumor quickly spread that Lil T Man had passed away due to too much Galaxy Gas. It's safe to say that this is false. The hoax was spread by a RapTV infographic that was obviously fake. It uses the wrong "to," first of all. Second of all, Lil T Man is eternal. Don't you know that he's immortal?
