The Tom Holland and Nicki Minaj romance meme, often referred to as a 'crackship,' originated from highly edited fan videos on platforms like Twitter and YouTube around 2019. These videos utilized clever jump cuts and green-screen effects to create a fictional, dramatic love story between the Spider-Man star and the Queen of Rap. The meme often features a recurring storyline involving a betrayal by James Charles or a rivalry with Zendaya, turning into a multi-part cinematic universe of absurdity. It is widely used to celebrate internet 'stan' culture and the humor found in pairing two completely unrelated celebrities in high-stakes romantic dramas.
