Star Gee made the statement in Twi, so the last portion read: "Wo ko ho ko y3 d3n".

Gradually, the video gathered steam online and many quoted it as a response to different social media posts like they do with memes.

To make it simpler to type, "wo ko ho ko y3 d3n" was abbreviated into WKHKYD and others came up with another version "wo ba ha b3 y3 d3n" (WBHBYD) which means, "What did you come here to do?" and others.
