About

Alvin Screaming "Oh P. Diddy No!" refers to a viral audio of a high-pitched voice, resembling Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks, screaming for help while being attacked by P. Diddy, concerning the memes about the rapper's numerous accusations, controversies and eventual September 2024 arrest which labeled him as a sexual deviant or freak. The sound was seemingly created on YouTube in September 2024 but later went viral on TikTok in November. Meme creators and artists shared photo slideshows with fan art that showed Simon and Theodore staring at a closed door that Diddy and Alvin are behind, including exploitable Diddy imagery like bottles of baby oil. Overall, the meme stems from the I Feel Like P. Diddy with Fur meme from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
