Beyoncé, the most awarded artist in the history of the Grammys, has been a sensation on social networks for a meme that Internet users have decided to call “thanks to beyonce“, used for graduations and when purchasing an item.
Although these publications are made with humor, their roots are intertwined with real events, music awards and dark background that involves figures close to the singer.

The meme originated on TikTok, as well-known artists often thank Beyoncé in their speeches when accepting an award, especially when they have beaten her in the same category.
An example is Adele’s award at the 2017 Grammys. Upon winning the award for Album of the Year, the singer took a few seconds to express her admiration for the ‘Halo’ singer, and mentioned: “Beyoncé is the artist of my life“.
A few hours later, the Grammy broke and for users that was not accidental, since Adele would have broken the recognition to be able to share it with the actress.
This theory suggests that artists mention Beyoncé out of fear of social or even mystical reprisals. At the 2023 Grammys, Lizzo also thanked the American as did other figures close to her.
Is Beyoncé linked to Diddy’s case?
It is not the first time that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter and her husband Jay-Z have been involved in conspiracy cases, since since Diddy was arrested on September 16, the theory has emerged on social networks that the couple of artists were aware . of the rapper’s actions.
In an interview on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, singer-songwriter Jaguar Wright compared Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Combs, claiming the couple had “hundreds of victims“.
The response was immediate, as the couple’s legal team sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to Piers Morgan and the hosts of his show, demanding the removal of Wright’s allegations.
In response, the British journalist issued a public apology and stated that Wright’s statements were unexpected and lacked strong evidence.
“His lawyers have contacted us to say that those claims were completely false and had no factual basis, so we have complied with the legal request to remove them from the original interview.“Morgan mentioned.
Why hasn’t Beyoncé made any statements?
Despite the quick response, the couple has stayed away from Diddy’s case and in that sense Alex Spiro, lawyer for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, said: “The fact that the Carters decided to intervene in this case shows that when they decide to stand up something, they are sending a clear message“He told TMZ.
Furthermore, he added: “If they don’t stand up and say what is true and what is false, then who can?“, he concluded.
