The internet is so full of memes that you might have forgotten the 'Why you coming fast' guy, also known as Ferdi.
He's the guy from the below video who became virally famous after a cyclist appeared to clip a call and crashed into him while he was working.
Watch here:
Naturally quite annoyed that someone had crashed into him, Ferdi uttered the question 'Why you coming fast' at the person on the bike who'd collided with him.
The clip quickly became viral and the man got his 15 minutes of fame.

From this point, certain famous faces on the internet have been able to spin their meme status into careers where they do the thing people love them for, but it didn't quite work out for Ferdi.
Once he became famous across the world, Ferdi's friend's son named Snatchy agreed to manage him, saying that people wanted to meet him at various club and bar events.
His manager would pay him between £200 and £700 for each night while taking a cut as you do - but Ferdi said that he repeatedly asked to sign a contract.
"I asked him a few times but I couldn't get the right answer," he said.
Despite these issues, the mechanic seemed to be on the right track, with Snatchy later saying they had landed a contract with Boohoo to make 'Why you coming fast?' t-shirts.

But once again, Ferdi claims he was ripped off and made around £7,000 to £8,000 from the deal.
"I should be a millionaire," he told the hosts. "I wasted two years when I could've gone to work.
"I lost money actually because nobody wants to give me a job. They think I'm a millionaire... they think I'm lying to them or taking the p**s."
He went on to suggest that the illusive Snatchy opened an Instagram account using his own login details but with Ferdi's name, which went on to earn hundreds of thousands of followers.

But the hosts did step in to point out that the manager was probably just doing his job, especially since Ferdi didn't know how to use social media.
Regardless, Ferdi took back control of his Instagram account and he went on to make the comedy music video, something he describes as 'amazing'.
However, Ferdi boldly exclaimed: "I didn't make one penny from this music video," describing those who ran away with the money as 'b***tards'.
He finished his rant by suggesting that things came to a head in early 2019 when Snatchy came to his house and told him: "You're finished, you're dead, nobody wants to see you."

As for today, Ferdi said he now works six days a week as a delivery driver and is planning to launch a food review show called Ferdi Eats.
Obviously, there are two sides to every story, but there's no denying Ferdi's still reeling from how everything went down.
Right now, he's got a cyclist and a guy named Snatchy living rent free in his head - here's hoping he can put the past in the past and move on with his life.
