The wassup in a minute original

The wassup in a minute original is a pair of TikTok posts by the US animator @ristyisvalid. On 22 October 2026 the first post showed hand-drawn streetwear anime characters swaying side to side on a plain white background; the next day's follow-up, captioned "Wassup in a minute", passed a million views within days and gave the trend its name.

Reuploading the original clip is not the move. The format spread because people remake it with new characters — and the AI wave put your own face in the row. On ViralReel you upload one to four photos and get a new 9:16 animation of original streetwear characters swaying to the beat, with no fan artist's drawing and no show character involved.

If you want to credit the trend when you post, link the sound rather than the video: add the official "wassup in a minute" sound inside TikTok, use #wassupinaminute, and keep the AI-generated label on. Your clip is a new fictional animation, not a copy of the original file.

1. Upload your photos. On ViralReel, open the Wassup in a Minute template and upload one to four clear photos of people you have permission to use — face toward the camera, knees up or full body. JPG, PNG, and WebP work. Skip group shots, sunglasses, and heavy filters.
2. Generate. Leave the ratio on 9:16, check the credit cost shown before you start, and generate. Everyone is drawn as an original streetwear anime character on a white background, then animated with the side-to-side sway.
3. Download. Download the MP4 when the render finishes. Paid credit packs and monthly plans export without a ViralReel watermark.
4. Add the trend sound and the AI label. In TikTok, Reels, or Shorts, search "wassup in a minute" in the sound picker and add the jersey-club trend sound, then turn on the AI-generated label where the platform asks. ViralReel does not license that audio.
