The 'Beyoncé Is A Witch' meme stems from various internet conspiracy theories, most notably gaining traction in 2018 when her former drummer, Kimberly Thompson, filed for a restraining order alleging the singer used 'extreme witchcraft' and 'magic spells' to monitor her. While the legal claims were serious, the internet transformed the accusation into a recurring meme. Fans often use the phrase ironically to describe her incredible talent and seemingly superhuman ability to dominate the music industry, while others use it to poke fun at the occult-themed imagery frequently found in her visual albums like Lemonade and Black Is King. The template is widely used to highlight her 'spellbinding' performances or to joke about the literal power she holds over her devoted fanbase.
