The viral phrase traces its origin to Ghanaian musician Patapaa who used it in the music video for his song ‘Daavi Neba’. The only thing is, the rapper is known for using gibberish in his songs and this phrase is also just a random phrase.
Although the phrase has no known meaning in any language, KnowYourMeme says that ‘sco pa tu manaa’ can mean “I’ll hit you” or “what experience does this remind you of” depending on usage.
On social media it’s come to mean ‘what does this remind you of’, with people using the phrase to share their opinion about things. From film stars and cricketers to even apps, the phrase is now being used to describe various things.
