Wigger Pig began as an AI-generated image showing a pig with “wigger” features.

@raven_brah was one of the first to bring the meme to X, posting a photo of Pigger next to Sydney Sweeney with the caption “Average Eastern European Couple.” The tweet surpassed 25 million views. Sweeney has been trending recently after being accused of having right-wing views following a magazine interview.

@Howlingmutant0 prompted a hypothetical slaughterhouse scenario where Wigger Pig was next in line, asking “what would you do?”

@TheRoyalSerf posted an Ashtar Sheran-style variation captioned “see you in porkhalla.” This is just one of many variations of Wigger Pig circulating.

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, added visibility by choosing Wigger Pig over Marc Andreessen in a post joking about the day’s battle for mindshare on X.

Pigger launched on November 6 and reached an all-time high of $4.8M market cap in under four days.
