Songfacts®:

  • Meet Hstikkytokky, a British fitness influencer whose birth name is Harrison Sullivan. He's been sharing his fitness journey since he was 16 and has made quite the name for himself on social media. You might also know him for his occasional beef with other TikTok creators, like Simple Simon.

    Then there's General G, another British content creator who gained popularity on TikTok. His real name is George Elliot, but Hstikkytokky's mom actually came up with his stage name.

    The two first crossed paths when The General made some hilarious videos using Hstikkytokky and his friend Ed Matthews' recycling content. This led to some live chats and eventually a trip to Dubai, which they documented in a series called Dubai Takeover. They even tried their hand at music and dropped a self-released song called "Twust" on April 20, 2023 - and it blew up on TikTok!
  • The lyrics in "Twust" are your typical rap braggadocio with mentions of a "lambo," "private jets," and "big watches." While it's not entirely clear how they landed on the title "Twust," it's possible that it came from General G's line: "Trust me, HS on stuff." (HS is, of course, Harrison Sullivan).
  • Hstikkytokky isn't just a fitness influencer and social media star - he's also a music artist with his own Spotify account. His collaboration with J Fado, "Hold This," peaked at #31 on the UK Singles chart in 2022.
