The Beyoncé ?! meme stems from a classic 2006 episode of VH1’s Flavor of Love. During a heated exchange, contestant Schatar 'Hottie' Taylor claimed that she was frequently mistaken for the superstar singer. This prompted the legendary reaction from Tiffany 'New York' Pollard, who repeated the singer's name in utter disbelief before famously telling Hottie she actually looked like Luther Vandross. The clip became a viral sensation for its high-tier shade and theatricality, eventually evolving into a versatile reaction meme used across social media to call out delusions or express pure shock.
