DMX, who has been off the music scene for a while released a track back in 1999 titled “What They Want”, featuring Sisqo. On the track, the rapper talks about women he's had flings with and has a verse that goes:
“There was Brenda, LaTisha, Linda, Felicia, Dawn, LeShaun, Ines and Alicia, Teresa, Monica, Sharron, Nicki, Lisa, Veronica, Karen, Vicky (damn), Cookie, well I met her in a ice cream parlor, Tonya, Diane, Lori and Carla, Marina, Selena, Katrina, Sabrina, about three Kims (WHAT?) LaToya and Tina, Shelley, Bridget, Cathy, Rasheeda, Kelly, Nicole, Angel, Juanita, Stacy, Tracie, Ronna and Ronda, Donna, Yolanda, Tawana and Wanda.”

Now, Twitter beauts have used the same verse to create short videos of themselves in different looks, including our very own Nomuzi Mabena and Shamiso Mosaka.

However, there are some who couldn't join in on the hype because they don't have enough wigs/weaves to create the different looks.
