Inside the TikTok trend

People sit on the floor pretending to drive, while someone off-camera grabs their legs and yanks them out of frame like they have just taken off in a race car.

It has been more than ten years since the song first dropped, but Bugatti is proving it still has legs – and wheels. Whether it is on the charts or in living rooms turned drag strips, the track’s energy continues to fuel internet chaos in the best way.

Here's what Ace Hood said

In a 2021 interview with Drink Champs, Ace Hood talked about the track’s unexpected influence. He said the record made such a splash that people started buying the actual car. “The world knew about Bugatti when the Bugatti record hit… On some real st, bro, people bought more Bugattis because of the fking Bugatti’[record],” he recalled.

That year, it racked up nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards, including Best Club Banger and Track of the Year.

In a 2021 interview with Drink Champs, Ace Hood spoke about the song’s legacy, claiming it even influenced real-world car sales. “People bought more Bugattis because of the f**king ‘Bugatti’ (record),” he said.
