“One daguay teuth sa guémigne! Two daguay teuth sa guémigne! Tree daguay teuth sa guémigne!” (One, shut up! Two, shut up! Three, shut up!) , it was through the series “Emprises” that Amélie Mbaye democratized this expression, an expression of course, which was tweeted thousands of times through TikTok. This mythical phrase has allowed him to retain viewers around his strong character: … the gangsta mom, the lioness mom, the protective mom, the chicken mom, finally the mom who wants to manage everything even the choice of her children.
