Beyonce has recently gone trending in the worst ways imaginable. Soon after Diddy’s secrets began to pour out, the world realized just how close the disgruntled rapper was to Queen Bey and her husband. With this, the world has started a completely new trend that paints the singer in the most nefarious lights possible.
Although most of the conversations around the singer and people trying to protect each other from her wrath are fun in games, there is no denying that the meme has taken over the world. However, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to the singer.
In 2015, popular singer Sia gave an interview that ended up creating one of the most iconic memes of all time. However, as more information comes out about Carter, fans cannot help but speculate if there is truth in the bit.
Sia’s Writing Process Turned Into A Cautionary Tale
Although most people knowSiaas the singer of hits likeCheap Thrillsand Chandelier, she has also written some of Katy Perry, Rihanna, andBeyonce’sbiggest hits over the years. With this in mind, the artist once gave an interview withRolling Stonewhere she talked about her writing process when she was working for Queen Bey herself.
While many expected something simple like being huddled up in a studio, the singer’s description led to something no one could have seen coming. She revealed that all the writers were called to a house together, where they were given rooms. Like a warden, she visits these rooms and checks on how they are writing, adding her own input along the way.

The process is like a writing camp, essentially. She flies us all in and puts us all up. We all live in a house together — like five producers and five topline writers. She visits each room and will contribute and let us know what she’s feeling and what she’s not feeling.
Although this interview could have easily been lost to the test of time, it ended up turning into one of the most iconic memes in both the singers’ careers. Somehow, theCheap Thrillssinger, stating that she was essentially going to a writers’ camp, was twisted into her being held captive in Carter’s basement.
Beyonce Held Sia Captive?
Fans from all corners of the world were flooding the internet with ‘concern’ about Sia Furler, worrying that the singer is being ill-treated there. Some took fake clips from all over the internet and placed them in the context of this situation, joking that the singer was trying to flee Beyonce’s basement and she was not able to.
Some also created fake tweets posted by the singer, joking that she was sending secret messages to her fans about Carter’s true nature. The entire bit became so famous that Furler herself joined the joke in 2020. Twitting something similar (viaPop Crave), she joked that she was still in Carter’s basement.

While these were all quite funny memes years ago, when current events are brought into consideration, some things seem odd. With how many conspiracies have surrounded Carter in recent weeks, there is no denying that a conspiracy about her having a famous singer in her basement does not help her image.
