Who Is 'LoveAndLightTv?' The 'Yes King' Meme Creator Whose Sounds Are Viral On TikTok Explained

LoveAndLightTv has become the new Dreamybull in memes ever since his "Yes King" audio went viral on TikTok.

The gay Black male model mostly posts his graphic videos to Twitter / X, but they've seeped into the Thugposting community over the past year. This controversial community of Hood Irony enthusiasts has taken being unemployed to the max, fully exemplified by the numerous memes that have spawned from LoveAndLightTv's videos.

But, who is LoveAndLightTv? Where did he come from and why has he become a meme? Let's explain.

Who Is LoveAndLightTv?

LoveAndLightTv's real name is Michael Willis Heard. He's originally from Glendale, California but has spent time in Columbus, Ohio and currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

Heard's faith is key to his identity. He's been a pastor and spiritual leader for most of his adult life, often holding sermons for those in need of guidance. Heard has mixed his homosexuality with his spirituality as well, aiming to prove how one can be a good Christian while still being a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Heard also has a PhD, most likely in this field.

In addition, Heard is a sex worker and an OnlyFans model whose explicit content is seemingly catered to Black men. In his podcast Kingz In Konversation, he's discussed himself at length with his co-hosts.

How Did LoveAndLightTv Become A Meme?

LoveAndLightTv became a meme when the audio of a graphic video of his spread from X to TikTok. In the audio, Heard's expressive pillow talk can be heard as his partner moans back, "Yes, king."

Meme creators isolated the audio and added it to videos, removed from the visuals of the original video. In turn, innocent For You page scrollers were exposed to the loud lovemaking of Heard. By using only the video's sound, these TikTokers passed the app's community guidelines on nudity and other lewd content, simultaneously subverting the graphic nature of LoveAndLightTv's content.

Since then, meme creators have made it a habit of checking in on LoveAndLightTv's X account, just to see what new video they can exploit. Heard posts often, so there is a lot to choose from.

This strange, niche and backward internet fame has earned LoveAndLightTv a large fandom of people who aren't exactly queer. They apparently watch two men doing it only for the LOLs.

What Is 'Thugposting?'

Thuspositng is a genre of memes characterized by the ironic subversion of specifically gay Black male content. One could technically trace it back to memes like Two Black Guys Kissing but a video called Thug Shaker is the clear-cut genesis.

Thug Shaker is a low-production adult film about making "thugs" do the "rump shaker." The video's been used as a bait-and-switch prank but is more generally referenced in online discourse to emasculate Black men.

In turn, Thugpositng is perceived by many as an inherently racist meme genre as it plays on the hypermasculine stereotype of Black men by portraying them as queer. In this, emasculation is equated to being homosexual, making Thugposting contentious because it's often labeled both racist and homophobic.

Before LoveAndLightTV, there was a different Black male OF model who became the subject of Thugposting content: Dreamybull, better known as Ambatukam.

Other men who've become the subject of the Thug Shaker Central Discord server, and other subreddits dedicated to Thugpositng, include Brandon Currington, the Erotic Barber whose nude haircuts were ripe for meme exploitation.
