If you don’t know this woman by know, you should.
Sweet Brown is the Internet’s new star, rocketed to fame from a news report where she described her apartment building going up in flames:
SB: Oh Lord Jesus, it’s a fire! Then I ran out, I didn’t grab no shoes or nothin, Jesus. Ran for my life…and then the smoke got me…I got bronchitis!
And then she utters the inimitable line:
SB: Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!
The video now has 21 million views. Another one has 23 million, and an autotune remix has 23 million as well. Counting other remixes, parodies, and copies, her video has likely received north of 100 million views.
In the wake of this popularity, she’s done a video for a local dental office, including her famous catchphrase.
She’s landed a role in an upcoming Tyler Perry movie, an agent, and was just invited to the Oscars.
Memo to Sweet: Lord Jesus, I got time fo dat!
It’s a heartwarming, rags-to-riches American story: from an apartment fire to the Oscars. I doubt any of those douchebags on stage have a better acceptance speech tearjerker than that.
Just goes to show—get on local news, and your dreams can come true!
