The phrase "Ricky when I catch you Ricky" is a viral catchphrase that originated from New York drill rapper Envy Caine during a 2021 livestream. In the livestream, Envy Caine repeatedly said this phrase as a taunt and threat towards a fellow rapper, Coast da Ghost, asserting that he was ready to confront him. The phrase was repeated multiple times, gaining significant attention and eventually becoming a popular viral sound on TikTok starting around September 2023. It is often used in humorous or meme contexts on TikTok and other social media platforms. The original context is from a live online confrontation between rappers, where Envy Caine was aggressively calling out "Ricky" with the phrase "when I catch you Ricky" as a repeated threat or challenge.
