Thanks to a [meme made by an Instagram user](https://www.instagram.com/p/BHKwA8TBPxG/) who goes by the moniker @littlehiltonboy, we can all relive the early-aughts when [Paris Hilton](http://time.com/4118740/fopo-meaning-etymology/) was the celebutante supreme and Kim Kardashian was her sidekick/assistant. The meme features a sweetly amateur Photoshop job of Paris Hilton in a screenshot of [West’s “Famous” video ](http://time.com/4384498/artist-vincent-desiderio-kanye-west-famous-video-sleep/)next to Yeezy and Kim, along with a spin on the [controversial lyric](http://time.com/4218582/kanye-west-taylor-swift-famous/), “I made his b—h ‘famous’.” [_Cosmopolitan_](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a60684/paris-hilton-kanye-west-famous-meme-kim-kardashian/) reports that Hilton’s Instagram account liked the image, which might honestly be the best part of the whole meme. Paris Hilton, the OG reality star — may we never forget.
