A Zimbabwean content creator based in Johannesburg had the internet in a good mood after sharing a video on 14 March 2026. Wonder posted a clip of himself at home with a speaker playing in the background. He starts by saying he knows he is not Chinese, but this song has him. What followed was him singing along to the viral Chinese track Stacks from All Sides, getting every lyric right, beat for beat.

The song is called Stacks from All Sides by Guangdong-based rapper SKAI ISYOURGOD. It was originally released in August 2024 as the title track of a 19-song album and blew up globally on TikTok and Instagram Reels shortly after. The title is taken from a traditional Chinese greeting that wishes wealth to come from all eight directions, and the song itself explores the pursuit of money and success. The track is heavily influenced by Phonk, a subgenre of hip-hop known for its cowbell melodies and distorted beats. The song is also connected to the Dog Rapping in Chinese meme, which got over 10 million views on its own.
