Silence please! Mariah has spoken.

And this time, she's weighed in on the current most popular meme on the internet. And, she absolutely slayed every other version of the meme.

Mariah tweeted the words "If you don't love me at my" beneath a shot of her character in the 2009 movie Precious, in which she played social worker Ms. Weiss.

The words "then you don't deserve me at my" were written below the album cover of The Emancipation of Mimi from 2005.

Mariah's fans were quick to chime in to remind her that technically nobody deserves her.

One fan declared that the meme was now officially "done," because "no one's gonna top this."

We're speechless.
