In recent days, a new meme has started to surface, and it turns out that Lil Yachty is at the root of it.

As Know Your Meme notes, Yachty performed at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash concert in 2021, and a clip of his energetic walk out to the stage has racked up over 4.5 million views on YouTube since it was uploaded on June 2022. Here’s that video:

The unmodified video started to be used as a reaction meme here and there, but it has found new life this April, after a post from X (formerly Twitter) account @AIWarper generated some attention. The tweet includes the video, but modified, using a tool called Viggle AI, to replace Yachty with Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of the Joker.

From there, other examples have been shared online, including some featuring disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, NBA star Nikola Jokic, and King Of The Hill character Hank Hill.

A version featuring New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has gone viral in the sports world, so much so that Thibodeau was asked about it in a recent press conference. He revealed that he was originally showed the clip by one of his players, Mitchell Robinson, and that he thought Robinson himself made the video.

Fousey is someone who is always making headlines, one way or another. For those who do not know, he is a content creator who was known for making pranks. Over the years, he gained prominence and was one of the biggest names in the YouTube space. However, in 2018, things went awry due to his July 15th event. Subsequently, he went away for a while, only to come up and go away on a periodic basis. Most recently, he became a streamer who then went on to have a manic episode, leading to his hospitalization.

This has happened to Fousey before, but he has not learned from these lessons. Instead, he is being enabled by those who stand to make money from him. As it turns out, he plans to return to streaming very soon. He is even making some sort of promotional video to usher in this new era. As you can see in the post below from DJ Akademiks, the streamer was dressed up as the nurse version of the Joker from The Dark Knight. Clearly, he is cooking up something interesting.

For a lot of people, the entire Fousey arc is one that is not worth watching all over again. At the end of the day, it was like watching a trainwreck every time he went live.

It has been a difficult road for him, and it would be sad to watch things go off the rails again. Only time will tell whether or not those around him are actually looking out for him.

Diddy Partners with DJ Khaled to Announce New 'Diddy Direct' Platform

Diddy shut down Halloween last year when he portrayed the Joker. Diddy also shut down his ability to dress as the Joker again.

Hitting Instagram, Diddy revealed he received a letter from Warner Bros. Entertainment forbidding him from dressing as the Joker again.

“Last year I was the Joker, and I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker because they said it broke their trademark that I did it too good, I swear,” Diddy revealed to Jimmy Kimmel. “I have this letter from Warner Brothers.”

He teased them by stating, “Warner Brothers lawyers, can you see me? Put this camera on me right here. Head of legal, tomorrow, watch what I do.”

He would eventually back down, stating, “I got a bunch of emails from the studio telling me to not be the Joker anymore, that I was breaching the trademark. So I dont know what I’m going to be this year.”

He added, “To the motherfucker that took all this time to tell me not to be the Joker, you win.”

Instead, he was The Dark Knight.

Last Halloween, Diddy had easily one of the year’s best costumes with his phenomenally executed Joker look. It appears Warner Bros. didn’t like that and actually forbade Diddy from wearing the costume again, but he still managed to stick it to the studio this year.

Diddy was a Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest on October 30 and at the end of the conversation, when the host asked what he was planning to be for Halloween this year, the rapper responded, “Last year, I was the Joker, and I actually got a letter from the studio that I can no longer be the Joker.” Kimmel asked why and Diddy continued, “They said it broke their trademark, that I did it too good. I swear I have this letter. I swear to God. From Warner Bros.”

Kimmel, forever stirring the pot, responded, “Well do it again, then. Do it again!” Diddy leaned into it, declaring, “So tomorrow… Warner Bros. lawyers, can you see me? Put this camera on right here. The head of legal: Tomorrow, watch what I do.”

After the show, Diddy took to Instagram to expand on the story, holding the papers he supposedly received from Warner Bros. “I don’t know what I’m going to be this year,” he said, later adding, “You win, I’m not going to be the Joker this year.” At the end, though, the video teased, “Stay tuned.”

Now, this morning, Diddy made his grand reveal. True to his word, he didn’t dress up as the Joker, but he kept his costume in the same universe, sharing a scripted, high-production-level video of himself as, who else, Batman (“The Darkest Knight,” as he called his version). In the video, Diddy’s Batman confronts a studio executive in his office and demands they end the ongoing actors strike.

In conclusion, Diddy has mastered the art of malicious compliance.
