Pope Leo joins in with ‘6-7’ trend as school children watch on in delight

Leo XIV Vatican

Pope Leo XIV joined in on the 6-7 trend at the Vatican, delighting a group of children in a viral video.

Footage shared on Saturday (16 May) shows a group of school students demonstrating the popular hand gesture to the American pontiff.

He then copied the hand movement as he exclaimed “six seven”, as the jubilant school children gave him a round of applause.

The largely nonsensical term has gained popularity among young people through viral videos and memes, originating from rapper Skrilla’s song “Doot Doot (6 7)” - a reference to 6’7” NBA player LaMelo Ball.
