In a recent episode of The LiucciCast, Alex Caruso was asked about the Rihanna clip while they discussed various celebrities who came to watch a Lakers game at the Staples Center. After some convincing, Caruso promised that he would introduce himself to Rihanna if he saw her again. The hosts asked Caruso about the video, telling him that it is his favourite GIF over all the dunks. He then asked Caruso why he did not dap her up, which would have been a higher risk involving a higher reward. He then dared Caruso to do so, saying that if Rihanna left him hanging, it would be a 'forever' one. 

Caruso replied by saying that it would also be funny. Either way, they both agreed that it would be a win for Caruso. The Lakers star then promised everyone that 'for the culture' he will definitely 'try to make something happen' if it happens again. He then added that from now on, he will be using 'for the culture' to describe every action he makes as it is his new favourite line.

Fans commented on Caruso's promise, remembering the iconic video from 2019. Some people made fun of Caruso for saying culture, while some were unhappy about the media reporting something related to GIFs and memes.
