What Is the Dime Dime Baby Trend? The Quince Guy, the Song and How to Make Yours (2026)

Short answer: the Dime Dime Baby trend is a nine second quinceañera clip: a guy in a black polo dances toward the camera, bites a concha and chews while staring into the lens, set to the "dime, dime, baby" hook of BbY WOW by KAROL G. The original was posted on TikTok by Eve Ramírez (@eve.el.cholo) on July 24, 2025; in October 2026 it became an AI trend where anyone takes his place.

Where the Dime Dime Baby Trend Comes From

The clip people call "el video original" was shot at a quinceañera. Eve Ramírez, posting as @eve.el.cholo, dances across the party floor toward whoever is filming, picks up a concha, bites it and keeps chewing while he stares straight into the camera, then dances away. Nothing else happens, which is why it works: the stare is the whole joke.

Because the TikTok was set to BbY WOW and its "dime, dime, baby" hook, the clip got its name from the lyric rather than from the person. That is also why people search for it in so many ways: "Dime Dime Baby trend", "Dime Dime Baby meme", "BbY WOW guy", "concha guy" and "quince guy" all point to the same nine seconds.

Who Is the Dime Dime Baby Guy?

He is Eve Ramírez, the man in the original video. On TikTok he is @eve.el.cholo. People also call him the BbY WOW guy, the concha guy or the quinceañera guy. He is not in any of the AI videos: every remake shows the person in the uploaded photo doing his walk, his bite and his stare.

What Song Is in the Dime Dime Baby Trend?

The song is BbY WOW by KAROL G with Judeline and rusowsky. The part everyone knows is the "dime, dime, baby" hook, which lands as he bites the concha. The song belongs to its rights holders, so AI generators do not add it to the video; you add the sound from the TikTok or Instagram music library when you post, which is how the remakes you see were posted.

Why the AI Versions Took Over

In October 2026 the clip turned into an AI trend. Instead of filming themselves at a party, people upload one photo and an AI video generator recasts the whole dancer: the walk in, the bite, the stare and the exit, with their face, hair, outfit and build on the original's beats. Grandparents, coworkers, dogs and teddy bears followed, and since October 26 the SlapClip page also lets you pick a scene, so the dance can happen in a garage, at a garden party, on a neon dance floor or in a dance studio instead of the original hall.

The reason it spread so fast is that the clip is short and the joke survives any face. Nine seconds is cheap to render, the moves are simple enough for AI to follow closely, and the stare reads as funny on anyone.

How to Make Your Own Dime Dime Baby AI Video

1. Open the page. Go to slapclip.com/dime-dime-baby-ai. The original clip is already loaded in the generator; the wall of examples beside it shows other scenes and other people.
2. Pick the scene. Keep the original, or hover an example and tap Recreate this to start from the garage, the garden party, the dance floor or the studio. Recreate uses that exact video as the reference.
3. Add one photo. Tap the + and add one clear photo of one person, facing the camera, face fully visible. The outfit in the photo is the outfit in the video, so a black polo and a chain give the original look.
4. Check the price and generate. The Generate button shows the total before anything is charged. The original is 9 seconds, which is 9 credits at 720p. Tap Generate, wait 3 to 8 minutes, then tap Download MP4.

What It Costs

Credits come in one time packs with no subscription: 15 credits for $9.99, 45 credits for $24.99 and 100 credits for $49.99 (prices on October 29, 2026). At 720p the 9 second clip costs 9 credits, so the smallest pack covers one video with 6 credits left; at 480p it costs 5 credits, so the same pack covers three. If a render fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.

Who to Put in It

• Yourself, the obvious one, ideally in a black polo.
• Your dad or grandpa, which is how most of the viral remakes go.
• A coworker as the office's quince guy after a deadline.
• Your dog or a teddy bear. Upload a clear photo of the whole animal or toy, switch on Prompt and say it walks upright on its hind legs. Results vary more than with people, so expect a try or two.
• Not a child. Photos of children are not allowed for any trend on the site.

Tips So the Stare Looks Like You

1. Face the camera. The clip ends on a close stare, so a front facing photo matters more here than for most trends.
2. Even light. A bright room or daylight; harsh shadows end up baked into the face.
3. One person per photo. A group photo makes the model guess.
4. Match the clip. A head and shoulders photo works well, because the stare is the shot that sells it.
