X (formerly Twitter) is home to a million jokes, but the resurfacing of Beyonce’s ‘She Ain’t No Diva’ joke during the Renaissance tour is at the top of the list this week.
The joke started not long after Beyonce performed her hit song Diva. While singing the lyrics she jokingly pointed at an audience member to punctuate the lyric, “She ain’t no diva,” which she sang multiple times over.
The concert attendees and social media audiences alike exploded with their own variations of the joke featuring cartoon characters, civil rights icons, other artists, and popular memes that made a similar pointing gesture.
A popular Beyonce fan page, @beyoncegarden, with over 75 thousand followers, shared the most circulated clip of the viral moment from the concert. But @lavidayeauxduh’s original tweet featuring Lord Farquaad from the popular Disney movie Shrek started the mass influx of memes with over 700 quote reposts. And the following were the funniest, not in any particular order.
