The 'This Is For Rachel' TikTok Sound, Explained

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Tuesday, May 14, 2024

According to Know Your Meme, the "this is for Rachel" audio went viral on Twitter in 2018, when user @freepark_ing captioned a video of a voicemail on his landline with, "Wrong number just sent me this... Rachel, you better be ready." The audio went viral soon after, and Jasmine Collins, the person who identified herself in the audio — she notably said, "I'mma show you not to play with Jasmine Collins' money, b***h" — went live on Instagram to explain that Rachel was her work manager, who was apparently racist, per Junkee. Collins also said that Rachel got fired from her job since H.R. deemed her claims true.

The audio has since been remixed with City Girls' "Act Up" and been featured in thousands of lip-syncing videos. One TikTok user lip-synced the audio to Rachel Green from the show "Friends," played by Jennifer Aniston, and has garnered over 18 million views. Lizzo also participated in the trend, creating a super fun choreography to the remix. Some of our favorites include a bopping bird and an unbothered cat, as trap music — and anger at Rachel — transcends species.
