Trisha Paytas, the media personality and YouTuber, had been making rounds on the internet as she welcomed her third baby, Aquaman Moses, on Tuesday, July 12, 2025.

Another reason Trisha is gaining traction on the internet is the 'Trisha Paytas baby theory,' a bizarre internet conspiracy that suggests a correlation between Paytas having a baby and a major public figure dying soon after, or vice versa. The internet then calls the baby a reincarnation of that figure.

This time, when Trisha announced the birth of her third child, Aquaman, just hours later on July 22, the news of Ozzy Osbourne's passing came. Almost immediately, the internet exploded with jokes and memes suggesting that Trisha's baby is a reincarnation of Ozzy.


More about the 'Trisha Paytas baby' theory internet conspiracy

This internet conspiracy began when Trisha had her first child, Malibu Barbie, who was born just after Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September 2022. Just after the palace had announced the death of the Queen, Paytas had announced on social media that she had gone into labor.

After Malibu Barbie was born, trolls and memes joked that the baby was the Queen reborn. Trisha then responded by posting a statement on Instagram. She said:

''The internet is a weird place. I don’t know how any of those rumors started or why?''
''Sorry to the royal family and my baby. Felt weird to say anything at all. But so many people IRL that we know, had been texting and calling about this. Including my dad who felt out of the loop as if I wouldn’t text him when I was going into labor.''

There were some speculations made when Trisha welcomed her second child, Elvis Paytas‑Hacmon. Elvis arrived around the time King Charles III was announced to be ill, and later around the time of Pope Francis’s death in April 2025. This had sparked another wave of the recarination memes.

The theory struck when Trisha announced the birth of her third child. She took to Instagram to announce the birth of her third one on July 22, and on the same day, hours later, the news of the death of Black Sabbath's vocalist, Ozzy Osbourne, came out. This led to another wave of memes, jokes, and the resurfacing of the bizarre conspiracy theory.

Trisha spoke about the recarination theory on her Just Trish Podcast episode, titled, Trisha Gave Birth & FINALLY Reveals the Baby's Name!, where she said:

''A lot of people have passed since I gave birth, or gotten ill... Connie Francis, Pope Francis... Anyway, let's relax, baby is here. We don't have to reincarnate everybody really, ok?''

Trisha rose to popularity through a mix of viral YouTube content, including her mukbangs and music videos, shock value, and reality TV appearances. Currently, she has over 700k subscribers on her YouTube channel.
