Very interesting YT clip from a linguist on exactly this. He traces its history and some origins go back quite a ways and lots come from the Black community, which should surprise no one.

The only thing I don't like about linguistics coming from the Black community is saying "axe" instead of "ask". God that triggers me.
-
Is that really something that came from the black community though? It was around before North America was colonised.

Modern dialectal ax is as old as Old English acsian and was an accepted literary variant until c. 1600.

So older, yes, but also possibly a separate phenomenon unless certain people happened to still use that variant when enslaving people.

Not sure. It might not have originated from the black community but it definitely is being used more and more within it.
