Beyoncé is at the centre of a wild new conspiracy theory on TikTok.

Fans have been obsessed with claims that big stars like Adele and Lizzo were forced to thank the chart-topping singer at awards shows in their gushing speeches.The message is that the 43-year-old superstar is so powerful in the music industry that others have to bow down to her or else…

That’s why she’s often mentioned in acceptance speeches during awards ceremonies, even when it has nothing to do with the projects the artist won for, it’s been suggested.

While there’s no evidence to support the theory that artists will be punished for not saying her name, TikTok users insist there’s a pattern that points to a larger problem.

That’s caused some TikTokers to create their own hilarious comedy skits in which they thank Beyoncé when they do everyday things like wave or sneeze just because they’re afraid something bad will happen to them if they don’t

Beyoncé está en el centro de una nueva y descabellada teoría conspirativa en TikTok. Los usuarios han estado obsesionados con las afirmaciones de que grandes estrellas como Adele y Lizzo se vieron obligadas a agradecer a la cantante que encabeza las listas en las entregas de premios.

Adele, left in July, and Lizzo, right on Instagram this week, are fans of Beyoncé.

A few examples of this far-fetched theory were given.

In 2017, Adele won Album of the Year at the Grammys and during her speech, she said that Beyoncé was a huge inspiration. She also said that Bey was the “artist of my life.”

In 2023, Lizzo thanked Beyoncé during her Grammy victory speech.

Long before that, in 2009, Kanye West mentioned Beyoncé’s name during the VMAs.

It happened when he rudely interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs.He said Beyoncé should have won.“I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time,” West, Kim Kardashian’s ex, said on the MTV show. Here are three examples of her incredible and wide-ranging power, as TikTokers have said.

While the conspiracy theory is silly, it has put a new spotlight on Beyoncé, who remains a powerhouse with 32 Grammy Awards and a reported net worth of $800 million.

Earlier this week, Beyoncé said her children might not go into the entertainment business.

The star has a daughter, Blue Ivy, 12, who is set to make her film debut in Mufasa: The Lion King, as well as seven-year-old twins Rumi and Sir with husband Jay-Z, but now their mother, Tina Knowles, 70, has insisted it’s too early to say whether any of them will actually follow in their mother’s footsteps.

She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘No. We’ll see, they’re very young. We don’t know what direction they’ll go. They could be the president! Blue Ivy is very smart and very artistic, so we don’t know where she’ll go. She’s only 12, so we have time.“As a mother, I see a lot of myself in them and it’s really interesting because the things I would say to them, my mother would say to me. And now I hear [Beyoncé] say them in a different, cooler way, but it’s still the same.”Tina – who is also mother to singer Solange, 38, with ex-husband Mathew Knowles – also explained that she simply did her best to support Beyoncé and her sister in achieving their dreams and that being a mother has been the “greatest joy” of her entire life.

She said: “I did the best I could, I decided that they were a priority and I would try to support every dream they had above anything else.

“When I became a mother, that was really the greatest joy of my life. So it’s easy.

“There’s a lot of things to do, but I was very lucky that all three of my daughters were wonderful human beings, so that makes all the difference in the world.”
