Young Busco, the 31-year-old creator of the popular "What are those?" meme has reportedly died. All throughout social media, users on social media were sending their condolences.

The Instagram star, whose real name is Brandon Moore, rose to fame through a 2015 Vine where he questions an officers footwear.  "Officer I just have one question for you," Busco says from behind the camera. "What are those?" He asks as he zooms in on the officer's feet. (The unedited video was uploaded to Busco's Instagram account. Then user A-RODney King uploaded the clip to Vine.)
