About

The "Maui Wowie" Trend is a TikTok lip dub trend and internet challenge in which participants hang from a street crossing pole or crosswalk sign by one arm while lip syncing to the song "Maui Wowie" by rapper Kid Cudi, specifically the lyrics, "Goin' back to Honolulu just to get that, that Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie." The trend began in late September 2025 and was popularized in early October over the following weeks. It was seemingly started by TikToker @aaronxbrownn, later spreading among other users.
