About

Fat Black Guy With Bands refers to three photographs of a young Black man wearing an Icon hoodie with a gun tucked in his waistband while posing with a large stack of money for the camera, including shots of him showing the cash to the camera and pressing the stack against his ear akin to a phone. Originally posted by Instagram user cbmweewee in December 2020, the photographs have been used in memes since 2023. "Band" is a slang name for a thousand dollars, typically held together by a rubber band.
