Tokyo Toni's "Well, Yes!"

2019reaction videoclassic

Published November 12, 2026

Tokyo Toni's "Well, Yes!" is a reaction clip from a November 2019 red carpet interview where the social media personality calls herself bisexual and then, seconds later, insists bisexuality does not exist. The contradiction made the clip a favorite on LGBTQ+ and Stan Twitter, where by late 2020 users were captioning threads with "well yes" to flag absurd self-own moments.

Overview

Tokyo Toni's "Well, Yes!" refers to a short clip in which Blac Chyna's mother, Tokyo Toni, answers a red carpet question about whether a man hooking up with another man makes him gay1. She leans in, draws out the two words, and then launches into a longer rant arguing there is "no such thing as bisexual," a position she stakes out roughly 20 seconds after describing herself as bisexual in the same interview2.

On Twitter, the clip usually gets dropped into replies as a flat agreement to something obvious or self-evidently chaotic, with the delivery doing most of the work3. Stan Twitter and LGBTQ+ accounts tend to deploy it in quote tweets of hypocritical takes, since Toni's own contradiction inside a single interview is a built-in punchline4. Later edits stacked her "well yes" with similar line reads from other celebrities to extend the joke across a montage format3.

On November 9, 2019, celebrity paparazzi channel The Hollywood Fix uploaded a YouTube interview titled "Tokyo Toni Reveals She's Gay, Speaks On Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna At The Finding Love Premiere"1. In the clip, Toni confirms she is bisexual, and when the interviewer follows up on whether messing with the same sex makes someone gay, she answers, "Well, Yes! Anytime you mess with the same sex no matter what level you're gay there's no such thing as bisexual you're either heterosexual or you're gay"1. The video sat on YouTube picking up views slowly, hitting over 45,000 plays and 780 likes across the next five years2.

Tokyo Toni, born Shalana Jones-Hunter, is best known as the mother of model Blac Chyna, and the interview was tied to the premiere of her film "Finding Love"1. The meme format grew out of the audience's reading of the exchange rather than any editing by the original uploader.

How It Spread

The clip's first notable life as a reaction came on December 30, 2020, when X user @MobiusMarth posted an edit with the caption "Obsessed with saying 'well yes' like Tokyo Toni does in this interview"3. That post pulled in around 420 likes and 86 retweets and is cited as one of the earliest Stan Twitter uses of the video as a standalone reaction2.

Usage grew across 2023 inside LGBTQ+ Twitter circles. On January 31, 2023, user @stoppfeenin highlighted the specific contradiction in the interview, pointing out that Toni called herself bisexual 20 seconds before declaring bisexuality didn't exist5. A "well" trilogy edit by @poppersboomclap on April 22, 2023, bundled "well no um," "well sorta kinda" and "well yes" from the same interview into a triptych6.

On October 17, 2023, user @skyferrori posted a montage splicing Tokyo Toni's "Well, Yes!" with other celebrities delivering the same line, which reached over 9,300 likes and 945 retweets within five months4. The montage format kept the audio recognizable while opening the meme to reaction use beyond the original clip2.

How to Use This Meme

Posters typically reply to a tweet stating something obvious, contradictory or outing itself as a double standard, and attach the "Well, Yes!" video or GIF as the whole response. A common convention on Stan Twitter is to pair the clip with a screenshot of someone contradicting themselves, mirroring Toni's own 20-second flip inside the source interview2.
