The 'But the Kid Is Not My Son' meme stems from the legendary lyrics of Michael Jackson’s 1983 hit 'Billie Jean,' where the protagonist denies paternity. Over the years, this phrase has merged with the cultural phenomenon of the Maury Povich Show’s 'You are NOT the father' segments. It is widely used to express a humorous or dramatic denial of responsibility, a lack of physical resemblance, or simply to celebrate a 'get out of jail free' moment. The meme often features Michael Jackson’s iconic dance moves or the jubilant reactions of men on talk shows after receiving DNA results, making it a staple for internet users expressing skepticism or relief.
