Lucki "Shhhhhh"

About

Lucki "Shhhhhh" refers to multiple images of rapper Lucki putting a finger to his lips with Instagram text overlay that coveys him shushing the viewer. The primary image of Lucki (and many others that eventually surfaced) were used in memes on Twitter, TikTok and elsewhere in 2022 and 2023, primarily as a reaction image. Lucki originally said "Shhhhh" in his 2019 song "Hush Skit."

Origin

On October 24th, 2019, the YouTube^[1] channel for LUCKI posted the music video for his song "Hush Skit."
