Kanye Is Golden Freddy Can I Have The Nitrus Today is a mashup meme from August 2024 pairing rapper Kanye West with the Five Nights At Freddy's character Golden Freddy. It grew out of leaked iMessage screenshots in which Ye's contact photo showed Golden Freddy and Kanye typed the misspelled reply, "Can I have the Nitrus today."

Overview

The meme stitches together two things that were never supposed to share a screen: Kanye West and Golden Freddy, the hidden animatronic from Five Nights At Freddy's1. The whole joke lives inside a leaked iMessage thread posted by Kanye's former Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos, who had saved Ye's contact card with a Golden Freddy avatar2. Layered on top of that visual gag is Kanye's misspelled one-liner, "Can I have the Nitrus today," sent right after a warning about the health effects of nitrous oxide1.

Most posts just recirculate the raw screenshot, but the format also produced edits where Golden Freddy speaks the "Nitrus" line, character swaps that drop other cartoons into the thread, and video mashups of Kanye vocals stitched onto FNAF jumpscare audio3.

On August 7th, 2024, Milo Yiannopoulos publicly accused Ye's dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly of feeding Kanye nitrous oxide to the point of brain damage5. Days later Yiannopoulos posted a screenshot and screen recording of an iMessage thread with Connelly and Ye as supposed proof1. On August 13th, X account @Kurrco reposted the recording, and viewers zeroed in on Kanye's contact icon being Golden Freddy, which is what actually kicked the meme off4. Yiannopoulos later credited the @GoodAssSub Kanye subreddit page for the avatar idea, pointing back to a May 4th, 2024 post that had already paired Golden Freddy with a joke about Ye on nitrous2.

How It Spread

The punchline went viral on August 13th, 2024 when X user @s3batr0nicYT cropped the chat down to Kanye's "Can I have the Nitrus today" reply and captioned it, "I feel bad for laughing but like dude." That post cleared 86,000 likes within a day3. Hours later, @m4rgiela_m4n photoshopped Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters into the same iMessage thread and pulled over 14,000 likes5.

Fan art followed the same afternoon. Artist @zep_excpoint drew Golden Freddy delivering the "Nitrus" line and gathered over 8,000 likes7, while @goldenscream posted a video splicing Kanye into the classic Golden Freddy jumpscare that hit 5,000 likes the same day6. FNAF meme pages joined in with This Is MF DOOM edits and other character crossovers5. Yiannopoulos himself replied to the wave with a post shouting out @GoodAssSub as the source of the avatar choice2.

How to Use This Meme

The common convention is to post the iMessage screenshot with Kanye's Golden Freddy avatar and the "Can I have the Nitrus today" reply left visible. Remixers typically swap in other cartoon or celebrity avatars, redraw Golden Freddy speaking Kanye lyrics, or dub Kanye vocal takes over FNAF jumpscare audio to keep the bit going37.
