Ain't Nobody Got Time for That (Sweet Brown) Brown's exasperated line from a 2012 local-news interview about escaping an apartment fire, "Ain't nobody got time for that," which was autotuned and quoted into a nationwide catchphrase.

Layer 1 · The Lore

Origin

After an Oklahoma City fire, resident Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins gave an animated interview describing how she fled, capping it with the now-famous dismissal. The clip aired in April 2012 and quickly spread online.

Spread

The Gregory Brothers produced an autotuned remix, and the phrase spread across T-shirts, talk shows, and everyday conversation. Brown parlayed the fame into commercial appearances and cameos.

Legacy

It joined a lineage of "songified" local-news moments and became one of the decade's most-quoted catchphrases, useful shorthand for waving off anything tedious. Debates over commercialization and credit followed her later attempts to trademark the line.
