“Man, I’m grateful, you know what I mean? I thank God every single morning because you never know how people are going to take to you. So, I mean, I had to walk out there with confidence.”

Williams on how “Whoop That Trick!” Chant Started

“That’s the special thing about it. People say it’s the entrance song. If you listen to the intro song, it’s the instrumental. That means anybody, anytime you ever heard ‘Whoop that, Trick,’ it’s the crowd doing it. I never told anybody to ‘Whoop that, Trick!’ I never said, ‘Watch Hustle and Flow!’ Shout out to my man, Al Capone. He’s the original songwriter of Whoop That Trick. He gave me the co-sign. It started with the fans, the NXT fans. Shout out to the NXT fans.”
