# Sheed's "Tupac Back" Dance Sheed's "Tupac Back" Dance is a TikTok edit pairing a 2016 video of Newark local Sheed dancing with Meek Mill and Rick Ross' 2011 track "Tupac Back." The clip resurfaced in March 2024 when user @realeljo synced the footage to the song, and by July 2024 captioned versions about confidence and pettiness were pulling hundreds of thousands of likes per post on TikTok. ## Origin The source clip was uploaded on July 7th, 2016 by YouTuber @BmarFamous under the title "Sheed: How To Dance 2016," starring Sheed from Newark, New Jersey.

The meme edit arrived on March 25th, 2024, when TikTok user @realeljo set Sheed's footage to "Tupac Back" and added the caption, "Me going back to being my father's daughter after trying that soft girl shi and having mfs playing in my face." That post pulled in more than 2.8 million plays and 598,000 likes over four months[2]. - **Platform:** YouTube (source footage) / TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** @realeljo (earliest known edit) - **Date:** 2024 ## Overview Sheed's "Tupac Back" Dance works as a reaction clip people slap captions over to describe switching into a bold or unbothered mood. The video itself shows Sheed, a Newark local who first went viral in 2012 as the "Man Dancing on Bus," bouncing through an exaggerated routine filmed by YouTuber @BmarFamous in 2016[1]. In the TikTok format, his footwork is synced to the hook of Meek Mill and Rick Ross' 2011 single "Tupac Back," which lands right as his biggest moves hit[2]. Captions sitting on top of the clip usually frame a flip in attitude, with on-screen text written as a monologue from the poster. Early entries described reverting to a tougher self after a soft era, or getting too comfortable with a friend and becoming annoying on purpose[3][4]. The humor leans on the gap between Sheed's loose, grinning energy and the petty or confrontational mood the caption describes[5]. ## How It Spread Between late March and early July 2024, the format spread on TikTok as creators reused @realeljo's audio sync with their own captions about mood shifts, pettiness and standing on business. On July 1st, 2024, TikTok user @harajukubarbie9 captioned the clip, "When they think silent treatment will work but I had a mimic for a mother when she was mad," and the video picked up over 551,000 likes in a week[3].
