The Remix:
Veteran rapper Supa King Big Pope exploded into the national consciousness when his near-decade-old hit “Tell On Me” became one of 2025’s most viral songs. Today, the Huntsville, AL native teams up with another rapper from the Deep South, recruiting Baton Rouge bigwig Fredo Bang to appear on “Tell On Me 2.” The remix appears after Fredo Bang teased his verse on socials, garnering over 2 million views across platforms. Raised on the kind of soulful street music that Supa King Big Pope was making before he was even born, Fredo is a natural fit on the song, as he slides in with a Supa King-inspired melody.
Originally released in 2016 with guest verse from Kevin Gates, “Tell On Me” earned a second wind in January 2025 after spurring several TikTok trends, rocketing the song to the top of Billboard TikTok Top 50 Chart in consecutive weeks. “Tell On Me” first started to percolate in early January, with a airplane-themed CapCut trend that allowed users to flex their creativity. The trend truly took off later in the month with a viral dance trend, in which creators on TikTok suggestively dance in bathrooms, or on doors, as Supa King poses a sincere question about the ethics of kissing and telling. The trend has since spread significantly, with celebrities like Steve Lacy, Finesse2Tymes, Coi Leray, Alex Consani, and Dess Dior, and even pets attempting the trend. Red hot Chicago rapper Babychiefdoit recorded his own remix of the song, racking up over 500k views on YouTube. Even Kevin Gates himself has tapped in. Since mid-January, the song has racked up over one million creations on TikTok and hundreds of millions of video views.
Supa King has been a fixture in Huntsville, Alabama–a city with a rich rap tradition–for more than two decades. He started his career in his teens as a member of Slowmotion Soundz, a collective best known for “Lacs & Pieces,” a collaboration with a pre-fame T.I., before making a name for himself with mixtapes and local performances. After spending some time away on drug-related charges, he emerged into house arrest in 2012, where he spent his time recording as much as he could. With help from his brothers, who were major promoters in the Northern Alabama region, Supa King earned collaborations from some of the South’s biggest stars, including Kevin Gates, who contributed to “Tell On Me” after a tour stop in 2016. Just as his career began to regain momentum, he was sent back to prison on a parole violation, where he served three more years.
A fixture in Huntsville, Alabama–a city with a rich rap tradition–for more than two decades, Supa King Big Pope started his career in his teens as a member of Slowmotion Soundz, a collective best known for “Lacs & Pieces,” a collaboration with a pre-fame T.I. After legal troubles repeatedly derailed his momentum over the years, Pope dedicated his life to providing for his family and uplifting his community, but he never stopped making music. When he learned from his nieces that his song was trending on TikTok, Supa King took the news as an unexpected blessing, and a long-delayed onramp for him back into the rap game.
Now as “Tell On Me” continues its improbable run, Supa King is ready to seize his moment. He knows he was put on this earth to rap, and after a carer full of setbacks, he is finally free to share his gift with the rest of the world.
Stay tuned for much more from Supa King Big Pope in the near future.
