Around the 3:33 mark, Ewumi raps about a woman he used to have fun with until she had a baby, closing the verse with 'Look, that's not my son. Believe me, anybody can't tell me that that is my son[1].' The YouTube upload collected more than 13.8 million views over the six years that followed[3]. - **Platform:** YouTube (2015 upload) / TikTok (2021 viral spread) - **Creator:** Kayode Ewumi - **Date:** 2015 ## Overview TikTok users typically match the audio to a green-screen split that shows a beloved original on the 'Back In The Day, me and you baby' setup, then reveals the dud replacement when the hook turns to 'That's not my son.' Common pairings include an old favorite snack recipe swapped for its modern reformulation, or a classic TV character placed beside a disliked newer cast member[4]. Many creators cut the clip short and skip the rejection line to show a nostalgic item on its own[5]. The audio relies on Ewumi's exaggerated Roll Safe delivery to sell both the warmth of the opening and the comic rejection that follows[1]. Beyond lip-dubs, posters sometimes layer the sound over a slideshow or photo carousel instead of acting out the comparison on camera. ## How to Use To make a Back In The Day, Me And You Baby post, creators typically open with a green-screen or split image showing the thing they liked, timed to the opening line about having fun. When the audio flips to 'That's not my son,' the clip cuts to its downgraded version.
