The youth are always cooking up some new saying, joke, or dance move that makes older generations scratch their heads and shrug. Most of the time, these trends are innocent and silly, but there’s one that’s wildly popular right now that has a much deeper meaning than most realize.

Earlier this year, a song titled “Doot Doot (6 7)” by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla went viral on social media, sparking a trend where kids randomly yell “six seven.” The phrase gained explosive traction through youth basketball culture — syncing with highlight reels of 6’7″ NBA star LaMelo Ball and viral courtside chants at games — before spreading widely among children.

While the phrase in the song is speculated to be a reference to 67th Street in Philly, the meaning behind the internet trend is ambiguous, with some interpreting it to mean “whatever” or “so-so.” Most agree, however, that it’s just a nonsensical, internet-fad slang phrase intended to be absurd and annoying.

Rick Burgess, BlazeTV host of the spiritual warfare podcast “Strange Encounters,” however, says parents who dismiss this trend as the foolish whims of adolescents have the wool pulled over their eyes.

The phrase “six seven” in Skrilla’s song may be pitched as a reference to a street in Philadelphia to squash any skepticism surrounding the viral phrase that has our youth in a chokehold, but it’s really a dark Easter egg pointing to the sinister beliefs of the artist.

Rick plays a clip that’s gone viral of Pastor Nathan Bentley at LifePoint Church in San Tan Valley, Arizona, warning that Skrilla is “a self-confessed member” of the Church of Satan, who has boldly admitted in podcast interviews that he worships pagan gods — even sacrificing animals to them for career success in Hollywood.

“He talks about since he’s really dedicated himself to this, since he’s begun to put blood oaths into it, his career took off,” Bentley said from the pulpit.

And it’s true. Last year, on the “No Jumper” podcast with Adam Grandmaison, Skrilla admitted to sacrificing animals as part of his religion.

Bentley also pointed out the song’s strange combination of sex and drug themes and the iconic “Baby Shark” earworm composed for children. “Now, tell me, why would a rapper, who’s got this hardcore persona, who’s singing about things that are very mature and whatnot, throw in the middle of his song the ‘Baby Shark’ thing?” Bentley asked, positing that the artist’s explicit intention was to lure children.

Rick, who dove into the research himself, confirms everything Bentley warned of.

“It’s ugly, ugly stuff,” he sighs.

“Do you want your children doing some sort of ritual with six and seven that comes out of a pagan religion … and includes worship of pagan gods, animal blood sacrifices, omens, mysticism, [and] blood oaths?” Rick asks.

If the answer is no, he encourages squashing this trend in our homes.

“The demons that I think are clearly at the root of this six-seven thing — I think one of the things that they have banked on is that all of us, as parents and grandparents, will think it’s cute and will determine it is no big deal,” he says.

“And if you let it continue with your children and grandchildren, that’s certainly your decision. … But I would go find out everything I could possibly find out about ‘six seven.’ … And I pray that your children are not about to experience a strange encounter.”

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd related a horrific series of alleged crimes that spun out of a disagreement over a football game.

47-year-old Jason Kenney shot and killed his wife at their Lakeland home before shooting his 13-year-old stepdaughter twice, once in the face, according to Judd.

‘You’re drinking, you’re using cocaine again. … You need God.’

Kenney and his wife got into an argument after she suggested that he turn off the television as he was watching “Monday Night Football.” The argument escalated and led his wife to tell their son to go call the police.

The 12-year-old boy ran over to their neighbor’s home, but as he left the home, he heard gunshots.

When deputies arrived, they found the man’s wife, Crystal Kenney, dead, and the stepdaughter shot twice. They rushed her to the hospital in critical condition.

Judd said that Kenney fled the scene and called his sister in upstate New York. He allegedly told her that he had done something terrible and that he would not let police take him to prison for the rest of his life.

Police caught up with the man at his father’s home, where he had barricaded himself inside a shack.

They heard a gunshot and found his dead body when they entered the shack.

Judd said that police found a note written by Kenney’s wife to him, but said they could not determine when it had been written.

“You’re drinking, you’re using cocaine again. This is not the way the family should be. You need God,” she wrote.

He said that she had been a regular churchgoer and donated to her church every week.

“When you go in there, there is a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of Christmas presents under it, just like the nuclear family should be,” said Judd. “The only thing he did right that night was shoot himself.”

Judd said the 12-year-old boy was unharmed and noted that he was Kenney’s biological son. Also unharmed was his wife’s 1-year-old daughter, who was found sleeping in a crib.
