Where does OTTNO come from?

OTTNO can be traced back to September 2009, when Jay-Z released his 11th studio album, The Blueprint 3. The seventh track on the album is “On to the Next One,” about how Jay-Z is always looking to move onto bigger and better things.

The track name was shortened to OTTNO on Twitter shortly after its release.

In the 2010s, OTTNO became a popular hashtag for people seeking to advance their their lives in some positive way, especially after setbacks or to continue accomplishments. It spiked in popularity in 2017–18 thanks to its frequent use by the Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons.
