Just weeks after his early release from prison, rapper Fetty Wap is back in the public eye – and joining in on a viral TikTok trend with an unexpected collaborator: Gia Giudice. On Tuesday, January 20, Giudice shared a video of herself and Wap participating in the “Big Guy” dance challenge, set to Ice Spice’s track of the same name.
A Viral Moment
The “Big Guy” trend, created by Louis Da Silva, initially involved individuals flexing to lyrics from the song. It has since evolved into a two-person dance where participants create the illusion of oversized biceps. Giudice captioned the video “This is 2016,” referencing a wave of celebrities sharing throwback content.
The unexpected pairing drew reactions from fans, with one commenter stating, “[I] did not see this collab coming.” Another joked about a potential remix of Giudice’s viral “Waking Up in the Morning” moment from “The Real Housewives of Latest Jersey.” One fan simply declared the moment “Jersey [as f**k].”
