"Laffy Taffy" is a song by Atlanta-based hip-hop group D4L which reached number one on the Hot 100 in January 2006. The song's success on the charts was largely due to its enormous online sales. Produced by Cory Way p/k/a "Born Immaculate, Broderick Thompson Smith and Richard Sims p/k/a "K-Rab". The song samples and interpolates elements of "Candy Girl" by New Edition.

There has been some debate regarding the meaning of the phrase "Laffy Taffy." Many understand the term to mean a woman's labia minora because of its resemblance to "stretched out taffy." It is a phrase commonly used by men who attend strip clubs. Women with larger labia minora lips are said to have "laffy taffy". The song's music video is set in a strip club.

During "The Champ" from 2006's Fishscale, Ghostface Killah asks "Y'all stuck on Laffy Taffy/Wonderin' how'd y'all niggas get past me?" Ghostface had mocked the "snap dance" during his 2005 tour. There has also been controversy on who wrote "Laffy Taffy". Rapper Liam "Smack Eyes" Thomas claims that the group had stolen the lyrics from his rhyme book.
