A rapper’s attempt to show off his flashy red-bottom shoes has taken the internet by storm, but not for the reasons he probably hoped. The viral clip, which hit the web in February 2025, has already racked up over 21 million views on X, leaving social media users in stitches over his awkward, exaggerated strut.
Fans couldn’t help but compare his stiff walk to a “dog with shoes on”, while another joked, “He’s walking like he’s scared to scuff his kicks.” The video shows the rapper making dramatic, overly cautious movements, clearly trying to keep all eyes on his expensive footwear. Instead of impressing the internet, he’s sparked a wave of memes and funny comments.
“If you’re gonna flex, at least make it smooth,” one X user quipped, while another wrote, “Bro’s trying so hard, but it’s just not landing.”
Rapper Is Now Going Viral For Trying Way Too Hard To Show Off His Red-bottomed
Shoes In A Music Video 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/KGM5NWI6Ai— Raphouse TV (RHTV) (@raphousetv7) February 22, 2025
Although the artist hasn’t been officially identified, many believe it’s Fivio Foreign, the New York rapper known for his bold fashion choices. He previously went viral for rocking MSCHF’s Big Red Boots, the oversized, cartoonish shoes that took TikTok by storm. But the big question remains: Is he actually wearing high-end Christian Louboutin red-bottoms, or are they just another pair of meme-worthy Big Red Boots?
The debate has only made the video more popular. In hip-hop culture, footwear has always been a status symbol—Christian Louboutin’s red soles have been a luxury staple in rap music, famously referenced in Cardi B’s hit “Bodak Yellow.” But recently, unconventional styles like MSCHF’s Big Red Boots have gained traction, bringing internet-fueled, gimmicky fashion into the spotlight.
This viral moment highlights the contrast between classic luxury and bold, meme-driven fashion trends. Whether the shoes are Louboutins or not, the rapper definitely got attention—just maybe not the kind he wanted.
One commenter summed it up perfectly: “He’s out here looking like he’s auditioning for a cartoon.”
