[4] Choppa then runs to his mother's room and tells her about the chaos; however, she orders him to wash the dishes instead. [5] As the rapper does so, he gets teased by some talking fruits. He chops them up, but is caught by his mother for making a mess. [3] As of April 2023, it has over 95 million views.
