Actor Jason Momoa experienced a childhood “pinch-me” moment on July 5, hosting Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath concert in Birmingham, just weeks before the rock legend’s death on July 22 at age 76. The performance, part of a star-studded farewell event featuring Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, marked Osbourne’s last live appearance. Momoa, speaking to PEOPLE days before Osbourne’s passing, called the experience “unreal” and a tribute to his 13-year-old self.
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.
