Origin
On November 24th, 2019, Post Malone won the Favorite Album – Rap/Hip-Hop at the 2019 American Music Awards. During his acceptance speech, he said, "Thank you for all the fans for showing love and support. We busted our ass for it. We love you very much and I love grapes."
That day, ABC published the clip to YouTube, where it received more than 525,000 views (shown below).
Spread
That day, people began meme-ing the quote. One of the earliest was a reaction video by Twitter user @millennialmindy (shown below). They used it as a reaction to the caption, "When your mom is goin’ to the store and asks if you want anything."

Post Malone's Explanation
According to Variety,[2] "It was apparently an offhand comment he made upon entering his dressing room trailer to find grapes among the catering options -- a remark he inexplicably chose to repeat."
