What's Up With The Beyoncé 'She Knows' Edits On TikTok? The Conspiracy Theories Linking Beyoncé To Diddy Explained

The Queen Bee has become the subject of a strange and disjointed TikTok conspiracy theory linking her and her husband Jay-Z to P. Diddy. To make matters worse, people on TikTok are convinced that she somehow had a role in the deaths of late pop stars Aaliyah, Left Eye, and Michael Jackson.

To add fuel to the fire, some TikTokers also began sharing videos of how many pop stars acknowledge Beyoncé in their award acceptance speeches, theorizing that singers like Adele and Harry Styles made sure to pay their respects to the Queen out of fear for their lives.

The outlandish theory took hold of TikTok this past week, but memes featuring famous pop stars with the caption, "You can see the fear in her eyes," and "She just wanted to survive" are already making the rounds on Twitter. Here's why people are making edits of Beyoncé with the song "She Knows" by J. Cole.

Where Did The Beyoncé-Jay Z-Diddy Conspiracy Theory Come From?

The origins of the conspiracy theories linking Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z to incarcerated criminal P. Diddy are unconfirmed. However, Redditors /u/RepresentativeOk2433 and /u/joe_bibidi responded to a post on /r/OutOfTheLoop with a theory about why the three music artists were being linked by more conspiratorial minds.

Conspiracy theories linking Beyoncé Knowles Carter and her husband Jay-Z to the song "She Knows" by J Cole began to make the rounds on TikTok after September 23rd, 2024, with many TikTokers citing the lyrics, "rest in peace to Aaliyah, rest in peace to Left Eye, Michael Jackson I see ya," to imply that Beyoncé has her husband or Diddy assassinate artists she thinks are gaining more popularity than her.

TikToker @nivinsmctwisp was one of the first to post a video of Beyoncé set to the track "She Knows" by J. Cole, gathering over a million views in a week. A day later, TikToker @thefernandomj posted another video linking Beyoncé to the deaths of Aaliyah, Left Eye, and Michael Jackson, gathering over 8 million views.

Variations of following copypasta are often seen in the comments sections of such videos, linking Beyoncé to Diddy through J. Cole's lyrics.
