Sia is undoubtedly one of the greatest pop stars of our times. She is also a walking meme factory who has mastered the art of performance while cleverly hiding her face behind a cascade of wigs, which have a separate fanbase of their own. Recently, the Australian singer-songwriter was asked about the craziest rumor she has heard about herself. Right off the bat, she mentioned the rumor that she lives in Beyonce's basement.

She was so swift in her response that it was hilarious to watch, she didn't even have to think twice. We just know it is something that has been bugging her for a while now...


Fans poke fun at Sia as she shares the craziest rumor she has heard about herself

Fans have been speculating for a long time about the Cheap Thrills star living in Beyonce's basement. The theory is so wild that it’s plausible—Sia’s elusive enough to be a basement dweller, and Bey’s got the real estate. So when she acknowledged the rumors herself, it was validation enough for the fans who felt relieved that all those hours spent coming up with those conspiracy theories were not in vain.

The 'Sia in Beyonce's basement' meme had spiraled into a hilarious conspiracy theory, with fans even suggesting rescue missions. Social media erupted with memes as the clip went viral, with the fans in stitches about the interaction. One fan took to aiming shots at her braids instead, which made for a fascinating interaction:

"Why she got beyoncé braids", joked one fan (via X / @bIIoodIine)

To which another fan (@dojassunshine) replied:

"Tina did them for her while she was locked in the basement"

Fans found some joy in the fact that Sia didn't outright deny the rumors, which inspired even more wild imaginations from them. Netizens rushed to social media to add fuel to the fire as they took solace in the fact that say didn't say the rumors were false, while others flat-out refused to believe her. And so, the meme lives on...

"Those are the eyes of someone held captive in Beyonces basement", joked one fan (via X / @slack_tristian)

Netizens are a curious bunch and as soon as the clip dropped, they began playing detectives. Invariably, this led to them coming up with a bunch of theories as to why she did not refute those rumors. Some fans on the other hand, hilariously suggested that it was because she had changed her ZIP Code:

"out of Beyoncé basement to Khia asylum basement", quipped one fan (via X / @itzDango)
"cause she was living on her attic actually", said another amused fan (via X / @jaguars_lauregu)

So used to have fans become in seeing Sia in a wig, it feels weird to see her without one of those portable curtains. Hilariously, fans called for the return of the wigs in an effort to get rid of weirdness:

"SHE NEEDS TO PUT THAT BIG ASS WIG BACK ON IMMEDIATELY", demanded the fan (via X / @PEDOINKA_MINAJ)

Sia and her wigs are a perfect match and they deserve their own Netflix docuseries. They are more than just accessories, they are a part of her personality.


We can't even imagine the strain the 'Sia lives in Beyonce's basement' has put on her, and she felt the need to address it. But she missed a step by not completely quashing the rumor and the internet breathed a collective sigh of relief. And so the meme lives on, a testament to the fact that Sia could thrive anywhere—even a basement—as long as there’s Wi-Fi and wig storage.
