But That's None Of My Business
Where it came from
Based on Kermit the Frog from The Muppets, this specific image macro exploded around 2014-2015 when people started using screenshots of Kermit holding a cup of tea to caption moments of drama or gossip.
So basically it's Kermit the Frog holding a cup of Lipton tea, and he's got this satisfied, sly expression like he's just observed some juicy drama and is enjoying it. The meme is used when you're about to spill tea (slang for gossip), or when you're just chilling and watching some messy situation unfold that's not your problem. It's giving very 'sit back and enjoy the show' energy. People caption it with something like 'me watching my friends argue about something stupid' or use it when they're lowkey judging a situation but finding it entertaining.
