Fans have been obsessed with claims that major stars such as Adele and Lizzo were forced to thank the chart-topping singer at awards shows in their gushing speeches.
The message is that the 43-year-old superstar is so powerful in the music industry that others have to bow to her or else.
That is why she is often mentioned in acceptance speeches during award ceremonies even when she has nothing to do with the projects the artist won for, it was suggested.
While there is no evidence supporting the theory that artists will be punished for not saying her name, TikTok users insists there is a pattern that harks at a larger issue.
That has caused some TikTokers to come up with their own hilarious comedic skits where they thank Beyonce when they do everyday things like say hello or sneeze just because they are afraid something bad will happen to them if they don’t.

Some examples were given for this wild theory.
In 2017, Adele won Album of the Year at the Grammys and during her speech, she said that Beyonce was a major inspiration. She also said that Bey was the ‘artist of my life.’
In 2023 Lizzo thanked Beyonce during her Grammy win speech.
Long before that in 2009 Kanye West brought up Beyonce’s name during the VMAs.
It happened when he rudely interrupted Taylor Swift during her 2009 acceptance speech at the VMAs.
He said that Beyonce should have won.
‘I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!’ said West, who is the ex of Kim Kardashian, said at the MTV show. These are the three examples of her incredible, far-reaching power, TikTokers have said.
Though the conspiracy theory is silly, it has put a new spotlight on Beyonce, who is still a major powerhouse with 32 Grammy wins and a reported net worth of $800M.

This comes just as Beyonce launched a collaboration with Levi’s that celebrates the brand’s ‘legacy while pushing its creative boundaries’.
The REIIMAGINE campaign revamps classic Levi’s looks and ads through the lens of acclaimed filmmaker Melina Matsoukas.
The first chapter reinterprets the iconic 1985 Launderette ad, featuring Beyonce in a fresh take on Levi’s heritage.
Reflecting on the partnership, Beyonce shared, ‘I am honored to work with Levi’s to create quintessential American iconography. Denim on denim has often been seen through a male lens, so this reimagining campaign, which celebrates the iconic female perspective, is important to me.’
Earlier this week, Beyonce said her children might not go into the entertainment business.

The star has daughter Blue Ivy, 12, – who will make her film debut in Mufasa: The Lion King – as well as seven-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with her husband Jay-Z but now her mother Tina Knowles, 70, has insisted that it is too soon to tell whether any of them will actually follow in their mother’s footsteps.
She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘No. You know, We’ll see, they’re very young. We don’t know what direction they’re gonna go in. They might be the president! Blue Ivy is very smart, and very artistic, so we don’t know where she’s going. She’s only 12 so we’ve got time.
‘As mothers, I see a ot of me in them and it’s really interesting because the things I’d say to them, my mother said to me. And now I hear [Beyonce] saying that in a different, cooler way, but it’s still the same.’
Tina – who is also mother to singer Solange, 38, with her ex-husband Mathew Knowles – also explained that she just did everything possible to support Beyonce and her sister in achieving their dreams and that being a mother has been the ‘biggest joy’ of her whole life.
She said: ‘I did the best I could, I decided that they were a priority and I would try to support every dream that they had above anything else.
‘When I became a mother, that has truly been the biggest joy of my life. So it’s easy.
‘There is so much that goes into it but I was very blessed that all three of my girls are wonderful human beings to begin with, so that makes all the difference in the world.’
