Regardless of the criticism CJ receives, the rapper is still enjoying the fruits of his labor following the success of "Whoopty." Although the song is catchy, listeners should still be cautious about using the term 'whoopty,' especially in New York City. Per Urban Dictionary, 'Whoopty' is a gang salute for members associated with the New York Blood gang. In the song's video, CJ and his friends are seen donning red bandanas and flexing signs to represent their set. Additionally, the rapper shouts out his association in the line: "B***h I'm posted up with the Hats and the Sleazys."

Similar to any other rapper, CJ raps about flexing with his friends, women, and staying focused on making money in "Whoopty" chorus: "Whoopty/ B***h I'm outside it's a movie (Whoopty), huh/ Blue cheese, I swear I'm addicted to blue cheese/ I gotta stick to the paper like looseleaf."

Despite the song's seemingly negative connotation, CJ says "Whoopty" is an effort to restore New York's energy, especially his hometown of Staten Island. He explained to Genius, "[...] New York, you gotta bring that energy. We was missing that due to the whole COVID situation, and everyone is in quarantine. ... I was just like, 'I gotta bring something to the table, man. It's my time.'"
