About

Might I Suggest You Don't Fuck With My Sis is a catchphrase that's used to caption image macros with powerful female energy akin to Girlboss memes. The phrase comes from a Beyoncé lyric on the song "COZY" which was released on Beyoncé's 2022 album RENAISSANCE. Usage of the phrase in memes became commonplace on so-called "Stan" Twitter / X in 2022 and 2023.

Origin

On July 29th, 2022, Beyoncé released her album RENAISSANCE.^[1] The second track on the album was called "COZY" and featured the lyric "Might I suggest you don't fuck with my sis."^[1]
