The internet is a weird, wild place. The latest example: A strange and illogical meme that correlates the births of YouTube creator and podcaster Trisha Paytas' children with the deaths of prominent figures went viral after news of that legendary heavy-metal icon Ozzy Osbourne had died.

The death of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne and the birth of YouTuber Trisha Paytas’s baby is combining to ressucitate an old and deeply weird conspiracy theory: the Trisha Paytas Baby Curse. According to legend,

Internet personality Trisha Paytas recently welcomed her third child, Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, with husband Moses Hacmon. As she celebrated her family getting bigger, the YouTuber revealed another name they almost chose for their son.

Trisha Paytas is a mother of three! The YouTube and TV star has shared adorable photos of newest baby Aquaman, who joins daughter Malibu Barbie, 2, and son Elvis, 12 months.

The strange theory started when Trisha welcomed her firstborn, Malibu Barbie, nearly a week after Queen Elizabeth II had died in September 2022. She gave birth to another daughter, Elvis, in May 2024. Though Elvis technically wasn’t born when it happened, people kept the bit going when they tied her birth to Pope Francis’s death on April 21, 2025.

As we say, the revelation comes amid the unearthing of a bizarre online joke, known officially as the 'Trisha Paytas reincarnation theory', which suggests that, around the time that a huge-name star pops their clogs, Paytas has a baby.
