por What is Kiki majens your maself?
Kiki majens your maself, also known in the Urban Dictionary as “kiki majens to maisel”, is a phrase taken from one of Selena Gomez’s songs, which is believed to be the product of mispronunciation. It was first revealed in the video for the song “Hands to myself” in 2015.

These memes were not the last, since Gómez is considered one of the most interesting artists for this type of material. Currently, «kiki majens tu maiself» is one of the most popular memes that is still valid for both fans and other Internet users.

It is estimated that the phrase is a kind of transcription of the phrase in English Can’t keep my hands to myselfwhich can be translated as «I can’t keep my hands to myself», which has the erotic and sensual connotation that alludes to the intention of wanting to touch the other person.
According to Urban Dictionary, the sentence is mispronounced, and also sounds more distorted by the effects and sound editing due to the autotune.
Origin
The phrase was taken from the video for the song «Hands To Myself», in which the artist is in a bathtub and seems to whisper those words. It is worth mentioning that the video was posted on YouTube in October 2015 and went viral in early 2016.
After its appearance, some Internet users noticed the particular pronunciation, so it did not take them long to highlight it in the funny mocking comments on that page. However, there was also a presence of racist and xenophobic expressions due to the singer’s Hispanic descent.
One of the YouTube users took the phrase to add it to a series of videos. This also allowed the expression to be adapted to a variety of images and photographs, including scenes from movies and television series.
The truth is that it would not be the last time that the singer would become one of the top references for this type of content, since she already has a significant variety of material to her credit that remains popular to date.
