Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi revealed the whirlwind experiences surrounding their hit “Black Beatles.” Released in 2016, "Black Beatles" propelled the duo to global fame, with the song topping the charts and achieving multi-platinum status. Jxmmi emphasized the importance of striking while the iron is hot, driven by their producer, Mike Will Made-It. The song’s success was significantly amplified by the viral Mannequin Challenge, which the duo endorsed and actively participated in during their concerts. This viral sensation saw high-profile figures like Taylor Swift, Michael Jordan, and even Paul McCartney of The Beatles participating. Jxmmi reflected on the surreal moment of seeing McCartney joining the trend with their song playing, marking it as an official pinnacle of their career. He credited the Mannequin Challenge for pushing "Black Beatles" to unprecedented heights and acknowledged its critical role in their success.
