In a recent interview, social media personality Aba Dope, also known as Aba Martin, asserted that she is the originator of the popular Snapchat trend termed "settings," which involves users creating a fabricated online persona for attention. She revealed that she began this practice in 2015 while studying nursing, often staging scenarios such as posing in cars to give the impression that she was driving.
