GOT7 Bambam channels Snoop Dogg meme, thanks himself for 'Best Artist' win at 2021 AAA

Bambam also peppered his speeches at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards with his beloved catchphrase 'Skrrt Skrrt' and Ahgases are losing it

With only Bambam in attendance at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards (2021 AAA), representing all the GOT7 members, there was a lot of pressure on the meme-king of K-pop. GOT7 members being funny, bar none, at award shows is something fans live for. From Jackson’s shocked face after seeing JYP perform in plastic pants to Jinyoung and Youngjae sulking before bursting into laughs seeing Jackson’s face on the big screen to the time GOT7 members had their table taken away from them because they wouldn't stop playing bottle flip games in the middle of the award show, there are many such moments that fans will never forget.

Bambam has now given Ahgases more to chortle about after his speech last night at the 2021 AAA held on December 2. At the Korean artists' award show, Bambam won not one but two solo awards while looking dapper, wearing peach sunglasses with his grey and white checkered suit. Like every other award winner, Bambam thanked his family, fans, and friends for his wins but one person was at the center of his speech — Bambam himself.

Bambam thanks himself for believing in himself

At the end of one of his speeches, Bambam ended up thanking himself for all his hard work over the year. The speech sounded a lot like Snoop Dogg’s viral audio where he said, “I would like to thank me for believing in me” — instantly becoming a meme-worthy moment. On the night of the 2021 AAA, Bambam first won the Asia Artist Award for ‘Asia Celebrity’ alongside the K-pop group, The Boyz, Actor Yoon Ah-in, and Thai actors Win Metawin and Bbright VC who were last seen together as a couple in the Thai BL, ‘2gether: The Series’.

Bambam's second award for the night was one of the main prizes (Bonsang) when he won the title for ‘Asia Artist Award’ for ‘Best Artist’. His speech after receiving the award had typical 'Bambam elements' when the rapper from GOT7 made it a point that everyone heard him say his favorite catchphrase, ‘Skrrt Skrrt’ multiple times, making Ahgases laugh at their idol's antics.

In one instance though, when Bambam tried saying it on the mic, he got interrupted by the MC of the show. Fans couldn't stop talking about Bambam's scared reaction on stage that was dubbed the night's "funniest reaction." The rapper even took to Twitter to show how scared he was at that moment as he said, "I thought my life is over..."

Bambam announces comeback album

It wasn't just catchphrases, memes and jokes during Bambam’s speeches that had fans excited. The rapper also dropped important news about his comeback album. After thanking fans for their support, Bambam asked for them to support him when he releases his new album that is in the works at present. Fans are hoping for a Bambam’s ruling the charts as earlier last week it was announced that​​ the Thai label, 4NOLOGUE has partnered with Bambam’s Korean label, Abyss Entertainment, and will be in charge of all his solo projects in Thailand while the American singer, Pink Sweat$ also teased a collaboration with Bambam as he posted a FaceTime screenshot with the Thai member of GOT7.

If not for his solo projects, fans are also hoping for a GOT7 reunion as the members have been dropping teasers for their much-awaited album after the seven members chose to leave the label JYP Entertaiment and sign on with different labels.

'I wanna thank me for believing in me SKRRT SKRRT'

Fans started drawing comparisons between Bambam and Snoop Dogg who both thanked themselves for their hard work as one fan said, "I wanna thank me for believing in me SKRRT SKRRT." Another fan quoted Bambam's words saying, "And last but not the least, I would like to thank myself, for believing in me and doing all the hard work. Never give up. Thank you. Kamsahamnida. Skrrt Skrrt" Another fan said, "Bambam, giving us snoop dog energy speech."

Another fan said, "BAMBAM DID NOT JUST SKRRT SKRRT AT THE AAA’s IM FUCKING SCREAMING." One more fan said, "Compilation of bambam saying skrrt skrrt at AAA while accepting his awards." Another fan said, "Bambam saying skrrt skrrt in AAA then getting embarassed after."
