Published November 15, 2026

Daquavious Pork is a Black-skinned edit of the human-pig character John Pork that began circulating on TikTok in March 2023 with a fake-call clip. A July 2024 'Pork Pay' prank at cash registers and an August 2024 TikTok account posting the character singing covers of Akon and Noah Kahan then took the character past millions of views per video.

Overview

Daquavious Pork posts come in three main shapes. The 'Is Calling' version pastes the dark-skinned pig face into a mockup incoming-call screen, copying the original John Pork bit1. 'Pork Pay' clips show a TikToker holding a printed photo at a cash register and asking if the store accepts 'Daquavious Pork Pay,' the same gag as Mouse Pay and John Pork Pay2.

A third strain comes from the account @daquaviousp0rk, which edits the pig face onto music performers so the character appears to sing full covers of songs like Akon's 'Lonely'5. Urban Dictionary definitions also use 'the dequavious pork of the situation' as slang for 'the elephant in the room'8.

How to Use This Meme

People typically pair a photo of the Black pig face with the Mouse Pay cash-register bit, or edit the face onto the lead in a music video and let the song play. Captions often lean on calling something 'the dequavious pork of the situation' as a joke stand-in for 'the elephant in the room'8.
