American rapper Wiz Khalifa has released a mixtape titled 'Big Pimpin’ with 17 songs in collaboration with many artists and singers including Ytiet, a YouTuber from Vietnam who called himself a cow herder and has been known for his simple songs on counting numbers.
Ytiet owns a verified YouTube channel with 328,000 followers.
Titled 'Number song (From 41 to 49),' the song contains a chorus where Ytiet sings simple English lyrics '41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah' with a quite addictive voice.
Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa sings the two rap verses and a bridge section of the song.
Ytiet uploaded a video in which he sang the counting section for the first time on his blue-tick Instagram on July 17.
The Vietnamese YouTuber then released a remixed version of the song, which he claimed to be produced by infamous producer Retro Messiah, on his YouTube channel on August 2.
The song went viral globally on social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber also covered Ytiet’s song and shared it in a recent Instagram story.
Before Bieber, other world famous singers including Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, and Miley Cyrus also shared other counting songs sung by Ytiet.
It remains a mystery that why Ytiet’s number songs became a phenomenon on social media as some Vietnamese viewers commented that the lyrics of the songs were meaningless.
