"My Nigga" (edited version titled as "My Hitta") is a song by American rapper YG, released on September 17, 2013, as the lead single from his debut studio album My Krazy Life (2014). The song, produced by frequent collaborator DJ Mustard, features guest appearances from CTE World founder Jeezy, and Rich Homie Quan. The song was written by Keenon Jackson, Dijon McFarlane, Mikely Adam, Jay Jenkins, Dequantes Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Awood Johnson, Craig Lawson, and Corey Miller. It interpolates "The Sky is the Limit", as written and performed by Lil Wayne as well as the popular refrain from C-Murder's single "Down 4 My Niggaz".

YG and Young Jeezy appeared on MTV's RapFix on September 4, 2013. At the closing of the show, the two premiered the music video for "My Nigga", which had been filmed a month prior in Atlanta, Georgia. On December 3, 2013, YG performed "My Nigga" for the first time on national television, on DJ Skee's SKEE Live on AXS TV. The next month he performed the song alongside Rich Homie Quan, DJ Mustard and Jeezy on The Arsenio Hall Show. Following that performance, YG was presented with the official Platinum plaque from the RIAA commemorating the sales of over 1,000,000 copies of the single. The song later went double platinum.
