“I Know You Got A Fat A*s”: Jay Park Responds To Resurfaced Video Going Viral

Korean American soloist and businessman Jay Park has gone viral yet again.

Jay Park appeared on NPR Music‘s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert three months ago in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Now, a clip from this video has resurfaced on social media, and it’s gone viral.

During the performance, Jay Park sang an acoustic version of his song “Need To Know.” The lyrics below caught netizens off guard as, to them, it appeared comical for him to sing it like a ballad. The original music is more upbeat.

Yeah, I know you got a fat a*s. You know I love a fat a*s. I’ll keep you popping them tags. Girl, I really don’t know how you fit in them pants.

— Jay Park
