Jason Momoa concert moment and Trisha Paytas baby name spark viral Ozzy Osbourne reincarnation theory
Coincidentally, just hours after Osbourne's death was confirmed, another headline-grabbing event emerged online. YouTuber and influencer Trisha Paytas announced the name of her newborn son: Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon. The name, inspired by Momoa's iconic DC superhero role and her husband Moses Hacmon's work as a water-focused artist, sent the internet into a frenzy.
Within hours, social media reignited a now-familiar theory surrounding Paytas's children: each of her births has coincided with the death of a major public figure. Fans recalled the uncanny pattern—Queen Elizabeth II (2022), Pope Francis (2024), and now Ozzy Osbourne. 'Welcome back, Ozzy Osbourne,' joked one Reddit user, fueling speculation and memes across X and TikTok.
Reactions to the baby's name ranged from amused confusion to admiration for Paytas's boldness. Some expressed disbelief—'the internet is SO confused!' wrote one outlet—while others noted the surreal cultural overlap. Paytas even dressed the baby in sea-themed pajamas, further leaning into the Aquaman branding.
The story comes full circle: Jason Momoa, who honored a music legend in Birmingham, now finds his Aquaman legacy unexpectedly echoed in the name of a YouTuber's baby born days before that legend's death. It's a strange, uniquely 2025 convergence of internet culture, rock history, and superhero mythology.

Birmingham bids farewell to Ozzy
Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76. Photo: File Thousands lined the streets of UK city Birmingham on Wednesday to pay an emotional farewell to hometown hero Ozzy Osbourne as the heavy metal hellraiser was laid to rest. Black Sabbath frontman Osbourne, who earned the nicknamed the "Prince of Darkness" and once bit a bat while on stage, died on July 22 at the age of 76. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died 17 days after playing a final gig to a sold-out crowd in Birmingham. Osbourne's funeral procession set off at around 1200 GMT on a route planned with the rocker's family through the English city. Chants of "Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!" could be heard, with one fan crying out "we love you Ozzy!" as his coffin — sitting in a stately black Jaguar hearse topped with flower arrangements — and other vehicles crawled by. The procession, which earlier passed the star's childhood home in the city's Aston area, was accompanied by a live brass band performance by local musicians from Bostin' Brass. Fan Mhairi Larner said it was "overwhelming" and "very emotional" to be part of the city's farewell to a star who'd been so "proud of his roots". "I've been a fan as long as I can remember, and I raised my son to do the same," said the 31-year-old carer who had travelled from the central city of Nottingham. "He was just nuts, a little bit weird, but it's nice to have someone like this," she told AFP. Another fan, Reece Sargeant, came with friends to say goodbye. "I think it was important to come and pay our respects.... Ozzy and Black Sabbath really put Birmingham on the map," he said. The 16-year-old described the band's last concert as "out of this world". Osbourne famously once said he wanted his funeral to be a celebration of his life and not a "mope-fest". The procession paused at the Black Sabbath bench — an art installation featuring headshots of each member on a bridge also named after the band. Visibly emotional family members, including his widow Sharon Osbourne laid flowers at the bench and read some of the written tributes that have been left there along with balloons and flowers. Thousands of fans have gathered at the bridge in recent days, mourning the death of the musician who was instrumental in pioneering heavy metal. The cortege, led by police motorbikes, then continued its slow journey towards a private funeral service. Tribute "Ozzy was more than a music legend — he was a son of Birmingham," Zafar Iqbal, the lord mayor of the central English city, said in a statement. "It was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral. "We're proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began," Iqbal, who could be seen hugging family members when the procession stopped in central Birmingham, added. Black Sabbath enjoyed huge commercial success in the 1970s and 80s after forming in Birmingham in 1968. Their eponymous 1970 debut album made the UK top 10 and paved the way for a string of hit records, including their most famous song Paranoid. The group went on to sell more than 75 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Osbourne was added for a second time last year as a solo artist. Osbourne gained notoriety for his outlandish stunts, many fuelled by his legendary indulgence in drugs and alcohol. In 1989, he was arrested for drunkenly trying to strangle his wife Sharon, which he once mentioned in a 2007 interview. His live performances at the height of his hedonism have gone down in rock folklore, particularly the 1982 gig in the US city of Des Moines when he bit a bat on stage. Osbourne said he thought a fan had thrown a rubber bat onstage, and it was not until he took a bite that he realised it was real.
