Antoine Dodson was interviewed for a local news station, and he said “hide yo kids, hide yo wife” after a criminal, titled ‘Bed Intruder’ was caught for an attack in Madison County, Alabama, which saw a man in Kelly Dodson’s bed. This became a meme and has been used in videos since its release in the early 2010s. After the original meme, a song was created titled ‘Bed Intruder Song’.
