Get That Yam Off Your Face is a viral video meme from February 2024 where Instagram user twilightgotti joined Boskoe100's live stream with a yam strapped to his face as a nose-related insult. The clip became a popular reaction for mocking people with big noses, especially during Drake and Rick Ross's rap beef.

Overview

Get That Yam Off Your Face is a viral roast video featuring Instagram user twilightgotti (also known as @prolific_gotti110) joining Boskoe100's Instagram Live with a large yam vegetable tied around his face1. The visual gag mocks Boskoe100's nose by comparing it to the elongated shape of a yam. In the clip, twilightgotti shouts "Get that yam off your face, nigga! Big yam face havin-" before Boskoe100 cuts him off and ends the interaction with an annoyed "Why are you yellin', bruh?"2

The absurdity of someone actually purchasing and strapping a yam to their face specifically for a premeditated live stream roast made the video instantly memorable4. The exchange captured both the elaborate setup of the insult and Boskoe100's genuinely hurt reaction, creating a perfect storm of internet comedy. Viewers noted that nobody just has yams ready to go, meaning twilightgotti planned this attack in advance4.

How It Spread

The clip jumped to X (formerly Twitter) the very next day. On February 20th, 2024, user @DONJUAANNNN reposted the video with commentary about Boskoe100 being "salty," and the post exploded to over 5.3 million views and 29,000 likes within two months. The same day, @thekillakay_ quote-tweeted calling it "a premeditated roast," acknowledging the effort twilightgotti put into the bit. Another user, @heshski, pointed out that twilightgotti had to specifically go buy a yam for this roast since "no one has Yams on go like this".

By late March 2024, the video was being hailed as one of the funniest clips on the internet. On March 26th, @ESMB3nji declared there had never been a funnier video, earning over 11,000 likes in 20 days. The meme found new life in April 2024 during the rap beef between Drake and Rick Ross. On April 13th, users began posting the yam face screenshot alongside photos of Drake as a nose-related insult. Both @tayskiFC and @maliegotit shared nearly identical posts within a minute of each other, each receiving roughly 18,000-19,000 likes in just two days. The Get That Yam Off Your Face clip became shorthand for any big nose joke in hip hop discourse.

How to Use This Meme

The meme is typically used as a reaction image or video when roasting someone about their nose or facial features. Users commonly post a screenshot of twilightgotti's yam-covered face alongside a photo of the target, implying they should "get that yam off" their face. The format works for any big nose joke. You can quote-tweet or reply with the original video clip to pile onto someone being roasted, or use the yam face screenshot as a reaction image. The phrase "big yam face" also functions as a standalone insult referencing the meme.
