The 'Kanye Is Golden Freddy' meme emerged in August 2024 following a series of leaked text messages allegedly between Kanye West (Ye) and his dentist, Thomas Connelly. In the texts, Kanye repeatedly asks, 'Can I have the nitrus today,' leading fans to joke about his state of mind. Internet users quickly drew a parallel between Kanye's slumped, lethargic appearance in various photos and the character Golden Freddy from Five Nights at Freddy's, who is famously depicted in a lifeless, sitting position. The meme blends FNAF lore—specifically the 'It's Me' catchphrase—with the absurdity of the nitrous oxide allegations to satirize the rapper’s recent erratic behavior and the surrounding controversy.
