Here’s my take on this.

The phrase “Who’s your daddy?” is one of those slang terms where context is everything. On one side, it’s used to assert dominance or superiority over someone, almost like a victory taunt. You’ll hear it in sports or competitive settings where one person has clearly won, and they’re essentially asking, “Who’s in control now?” or “Who’s the boss?”

On the other hand, it can be used in a much more playful, sarcastic, or teasing way between friends. The meaning isn’t nearly as aggressive in that case. It really comes down to the tone of voice and the relationship between the people involved. It can shift from a genuine power play to a simple joke depending on how and when it’s said.
