The “Say So” remix which features Nicki Minaj has been blowing up on TikTok via a dance challenge, and it’s also been circulating as a meme format. “Mmm this the remix” TikTok memes feature a clip of Nicki Minaj’s intro to the song: 
“Yeah, you know it
Mmm, this the remix”
TikTokers are using this clip to suggest that something that seems new is really just a rehashed or remixed version of another thing. 
Charli Damelio used this video format to call out people for making inappropriate comments about her body.

More literally, the “mmm this the remix” sound has also been used on TikTok for jokes about people “remixing” words by saying them wrong, like this one from Kari of the Jersey Trio:
