About
Julia Fox "Uncut Jams" refers to a quote from actress and New York City socialite Julia Fox while on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in early February 2022. When asked how she felt about being then-boyfriend Kanye West's "muse," Fox replied "I was Josh Safdie's muse when he wrote Uncut Gems." However, her pronunciation of "gems" sounds more like "jams" to many listeners, leading to parodies of the moment online and the clip being used in lip-dub skits on TikTok.
Origin
On February 9th, 2022, Julia Fox appeared on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" to discuss her relationship with Kanye West. When asked if she considered herself West's "muse," Fox replied that she was Josh Safdie's muse in the film Uncut Gems, pronouncing "gems" similarly to "jams" (shown below).[1]
Later that day, Spotify uploaded the clip to TikTok where it became an original sound (shown below).[2]
