What does the “Er war nie weg” meme mean?

Where does the “Er war nie weg” meme come from?
MontanaBlack, real name Marcel Eris, is a popular German web video creator and streamer on Twitch and YouTube. The phrase “Er war nie weg” is tied to his live comebacks after breaks, periods during which he temporarily steps away from streaming before resuming with this triumphant line. The deliberately grandiose tone, which denies the absence instead of explaining it, appealed to his community and was clipped and turned into a meme used for any public figure’s comeback staged with the same confidence.
