The 'Sweet Brown' meme originates from a video clip featuring Kimberly Wilkins, known by her pseudonym Sweet Brown, who was interviewed after evacuating from a fire at her apartment complex in Oklahoma City. Her animated testimony and distinctive phrases caught the public's attention, similar to internet personalities like Antoine Dodson and Eccentric Witness Lady. The template commonly includes an image of her during the interview, expressing alarm and confusion which complements her memorable quote, 'ain't nobody got time for that!'
The 'Sweet Brown' meme began with an incident on April 7th, 2012, when a three-alarm fire erupted at an Oklahoma City apartment complex, resulting in smoke inhalation injuries and damage to multiple units. The local news station KFOR News Channel 4 covered the event, and during their coverage, they interviewed resident Kimberly Wilkins, aka Sweet Brown. She described waking up for a 'cold pop,' mistakenly thinking someone was grilling, before realizing her building was on fire. Her statement, 'ain't nobody got time for that!' during the interview, became a highlight. The initial video was uploaded the same day by KFOR employee Ted Malave on YouTube , while another version posted by lucasmarr on YouTube on April 9th rapidly gained widespread popularity.[1]
