As you know by now
that the word “On Fleek” {it means ‘on point’ btw} is the hot snappin urban
slang of the now, and you may have even said it yourself, right? Umm huh Yep, But
check this do you know where it came from. Well the hot new phrase came about
from a 17-year-old teen named Kayla Newman {above pic} out of Chi-town {Chicago. And she is now
speaking out to claim here phrase… Deets inside.
Okay here’s the snap
on the Tenn Reports Global 14:
"Nope, it’s not Nicki
Minaj or Christina Milian, both of whom have tried to claim the term, and even
had a public spat over it.
No, ‘on fleek’ was
actually invented by a 17-year-old Chicago teen named Kayla Newman.
So, how did this
happen?
Well, it all started
when Kayla, who goes by the name Peaches Monroee online, posted a Vine.
She’d just had her
eyebrows done for the first time, and posted a video saying: ‘We in this bitch,
finna get crunk. Eyebrows on fleek, da fuq.’
Talking to Max Kutner
for Newsweek, Kayla explained: ‘It just came to me out of the blue,’
She went on: ‘I never
heard of the word, and nobody else had heard of the word. I just said it, and I
guess that’s what came out. That’s about it.’
Next thing, her six
second video had gone viral (to date it’s had 28 million ‘loops’ and counting),
and ‘on fleek’ was being used by everyone from Lil’ Wayne and Kim Kardashian,to
American brands such as IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and Taco Bell,
keen to prove they were down with the kids and in-touch with their customer
base.
So what’s next? Well,
Kayla’s working on that. She told Newsweek: ‘I’m trying to think of some, but
it’s like, with me, it’s just gonna flow."
