What’s the Beyoncé TikTok trend and is it related to Diddy?

( NewsNation ) — “I’ma let you finish, but Beyoncé” — a moment pop culture may never forget when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Other celebrities have recognized the pop star during their speeches at various awards shows.

Now, TikTok users are thanking the superstar in a now-viral meme in which they give credit to her for their good fortune.

What’s the TikTok Beyoncé meme?

The trend started after fans noticed a pattern in some celebrities’ award speeches, often mentioning Beyoncé even when she wasn’t a collaborator on the album or song.

Adele in 2017, Megan Thee Stallion in 2023, and husband Jay-Z in 2024 all thanked the singer in their Grammy-winning speeches.

In a series of TikTok videos, social media users are giving their rendition of thanks to the highly-respected artist.

One woman posted a video, now with over 34 million views, about nearly submitting an assignment without including Beyoncé in her attribution list. Upon catching her mistake, the video creator thanked Beyoncé.

Dozens of users have added “Thank you Beyoncé” to their bios.

Another user sneezes in a video, and her friend says, “Bless you.” The video creator proceeds to thank Beyoncé for her friend’s blessing.

“I would actually like to take this time to thank Beyoncé,” the woman said in an award-winning-like tone. “I wouldn’t be here getting this blessing from my friend if it wasn’t for Beyoncé.”

Is the Beyoncé meme connected to Diddy?

Simply put, probably not. However, conspiracy theories are known to run rampant once they gain popularity on the internet.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and more. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been known to interact with the rapper and were once friends .

She has distanced herself from Combs and has not publicly given her opinion on the alleged crimes.

Some speculated the TikTok trend was a diss to her friendship with Combs. Instead, the series of videos pays homage to her for their good luck, a positive moment in today’s pop culture climate.
