The meme stems from a combination of Kanye West's reputation for erratic social media outbursts and a high-profile, viral fake tweet screenshot. While the specific phrasing originated as an edited image meant to mock the rapper's unpredictable nature, it gained massive traction across Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok due to its shock value. The meme often overlaps with Kanye’s actual track 'Cousins' (with CyHi The Prynce) and his real-life grievances regarding a family member stealing a laptop containing personal information, as mentioned in 'Real Friends.' Fans use this template to parody the extreme honesty or bizarre statements often associated with Kanye’s public persona, making it a staple for rap-related shitposting and social media satire.
