# Pushin' P Pushin' P is a hip-hop slang term that blew up in January 2022 after Gunna, Future and Young Thug released the single of the same name. Gunna's cryptic tweets asking fans what the phrase meant turned the rollout into a guessing game that spawned one of the biggest Twitter and TikTok catchphrases of the year. ## Origin The term had been floating on Twitter since 2014 as shorthand for pushing pounds of marijuana, but a 2017 tweet by user JayPerso was flagged by Know Your Meme as one of the earliest non-weed uses of the phrase[4]. The modern meaning took shape when Gunna dropped a snippet of his single pushin P, featuring Future and Young Thug, on December 29, 2021, ahead of his album DS4EVER[5]. The real catalyst came on January 4, 2022, when Gunna tweeted B4 I tell u….What u think Pushing 🅿️ mean ???? from @1GunnaGunna, racking up tens of thousands of likes and seeding the guessing game that defined the rollout[4]. He followed up a day later with another teaser tweet, then addressed the meaning on an Instagram Live on January 5 that a channel called thechillspottt mirrored to YouTube the same day[6]. - **Platform:** Hip-hop single / Twitter (viral spread) - **Creator:** Gunna - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview Pushin' P, also written as Pushing P or Pushin' 🅿️, is a hip-hop slang term that Atlanta rapper Gunna turned into a full-blown Twitter guessing game in early 2022. The phrase roughly means pushing positivity or carrying yourself like a player, with the 🅿️ emoji standing in for the word in captions and replies[1]. Gunna himself later clarified on The Breakfast Club that the P stands for Playa, but kept the definition deliberately loose so fans could keep applying it to anything they thought was cool[2]. The format is simple: label something as P or not P. Posts followed a template of calling out behavior as either Pushin' P (good, player moves, loyal, generous) or decidedly not P (snitching, being cheap, lame behavior). The 🅿️ emoji attached itself to tweets, captions and brand accounts within days, and jokes mostly fell into two buckets, puns that swapped the P for another word starting with the letter and sincere declarations of what was and was not P[3]. ## How to Use The common convention is to attach the 🅿️ emoji to anything you want to label as player behavior, or to flip the construction into a pun by swapping P for another P word. Tweets often use the format Only P y'all pushing is [something that isn't P] or declare that a specific action is or isn't P. The emoji works as a standalone cosign in replies and quote tweets. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Pushin' P?
