About
Big Dog Status or I Got Big Dog Status It Ain't No Secret refers to a string of lyrics from the 2018 song "King's Dead" by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future and James Blake. The lyrics became a prevalent caption used in memes, particularly image macros, alongside images of large dogs in 2020, including a series of weekly memes celebrating "big dog status Monday" by Instagram meme page boomer.jim. The song also inspired the I Took Her To My Penthouse And I Freaked It memes.
