Published October 24, 2026

Wild Side, also known as the Green Dress Girl or "Benjamins Deli" TikTok Trend, is a dance challenge set to JRitt's September 2023 remix of Ice Spice's "Deli" and Puff Daddy's "All About the Benjamins." Dancers hold a casual pose through the opening bars, then switch to aggressive moves when the beat drops. By late October 2023, @lxurend's twerk video in a green dress hit 29.6 million views on TikTok and renamed the whole trend around her.

Overview

Wild Side is organized around a sudden energy flip in the audio. Participants start loose and understated through the Ice Spice "Deli" sample, then slam into harder choreography the moment the "All About the Benjamins" piano and horns punch in1. Common takes include lighting cues, friends crowding the frame on the drop, and sharper hip movement or twerking during the switch3.

After TikToker @lxurend posted her green-dress take on October 20th, 2023, the comment sections of the trend turned into a thirst-watch, with viewers typing "gyatt" and asking who she was under reposts of her clip and under unrelated versions of the dance54. That reaction gave the format its second name, Green Dress Girl, which stuck alongside the original "Benjamins Deli" label4.

On September 25th, 2023, TikTok musician @jritt posted the "Benjamins Deli" audio, a remix that layered Ice Spice's "Deli" over Puff Daddy's 1997 single "All About the Benjamins"4. The audio sat around TikTok for about two weeks before anyone built a dance on it.

The earliest widely-shared dance video came from @sw_dede on October 7th, 2023, showing two men executing a specific routine that leaned into the beat switch, hitting about 3 million views in three weeks1. On October 10th, @mark_e_04 posted a solo take that reached roughly 5.9 million views in just over a fortnight and locked in the casual-then-aggressive structure other users copied2. A few days later on October 13th, @juanitaa02.xx added a staging twist, cutting the room lights every time the beat dropped while friends surrounded her with handheld lights, racking roughly 10.3 million views in two weeks3.

How It Spread

The format moved quickly through TikTok's dance side during mid-October 2023. On October 15th, @dam.arisss posted a version that reached around 10 million views in 12 days6, and on October 16th, @officialmonniee's take climbed to about 14 million views in 10 days7. Both clips used the same casual-to-hard pivot and helped set audience expectations for the drop.

The trend got its signature moment on October 20th, 2023, when @lxurend posted a group version in which she wore a green dress and twerked during the breakdown. The clip hit over 29.6 million views in a week, and top comments focused on the dancer rather than the choreography, giving the trend its "Green Dress Girl" nickname5. Reaction posts followed, including an October 25th video from @_brontesimpson that joked, "If I could shake ass like this chick I'd never complain about anything again," reaching about 2.2 million views in two days8.
