Bananas & Rice Lady Goes Full Loop on Live Mic

A 45‑second clip from a Minnesota press event is blowing up after a young Somali‑American speaker tries to explain cultural identity… and ends up stuck in a hilarious loop about bananas and rice. She says it once, twice, three times — and the internet instantly turned it into a meme.
The original moment came from a serious press conference, but the viral cut focuses on the unintentionally funny repetition that’s now everywhere online. Viewers are quoting it, remixing it, and joking about how she couldn’t escape the bananas‑and‑rice spiral.
Short, goofy, and pure meme fuel.
