More details on Nicki Minaj’s Beez in the Trap TikTok trend

Almost everyone has hopped on the 4 Non Blondes and Nicki Minaj’s Beez in the Trap TikTok challenge. From toddlers atrugllung with pronunciation to Irish grandparents, the whole world is singing. Celebrities like Victoria Justice, Sabrina Carpenter, Jonas Brothers, Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Fallon, Malala Yousafzai, and Demi Lovato have joined the challenge.

The Beez in the Trap TikTok challenge is a genius mix of Nicki Minaj’s 2012 Beez in the Trap featuring 2Chains and 4 Non Blondes’ 1993 What’s Up. A TikTok user @dj.auxlord made the remix in August 2025. The trend mostly follows the setup of two people standing back to back as the camera pans to them while singing. The first person starts singing Linda Perry’s part with much energy and animation, and the second person raps Nicki’s part with a deadpan expression.

The lyrics read:

“I wake in the morning and I step outside/ And I take a deep breath/ And I get real high and I/ Scream from the top of my lungs/ What's going on?/ And I say/ B*tches ain't sh*t when they ain't say nothing/ A hundred motherf*ckers can't tell me nothing/ I beez in the trap/ Bee beez in the trap/ I beez in the trap/ Bee beez in the trap.”

4 Non Blondes took to their official Instagram to share some of their favorites from the trend. They wrote:

“We can’t believe the love this trend is getting!”

Nicki Minaj also used the sound on a TikTok and wrote in the comments section:

“Barbz, show love to the ppl doing the trend. Love you. You're cute. Or whatever.”
