Nigerian singer, Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, popularly known as Seyi Shay, has confirmed that she was once a member of the Illuminati.
The revelation came during her appearance on the OffAir Podcast with Gbemi and Toolz, where the “Right Now” crooner openly admitted to joining the controversial group.
Revealing that her involvement with the Illuminati was a phase in her career, Shay said, “That’s when I was in the Illuminati. That’s when I joined the Illuminati. That’s when it was official. Do you understand? I was an Illuminati member.”
Seyi Shay added that contrary to popular belief, it is not fans who know the most about such affiliations but insiders in the entertainment industry, suggesting that much goes on behind the scenes that the public may not be aware of.
“It’s not the fans, guys. It’s the people in the industry, the ones who work with me, work with her, work with that one,” she added.
While there have long been rumours about some Nigerian celebrities being affiliated with the controversial secret society, Seyi Shay’s disclosure marks one of the few times an artist has publicly confirmed such ties.
Her comments quickly went viral, drawing mixed responses. While some listeners doubted her claim, others applauded her for speaking candidly about a topic often wrapped in secrecy and conspiracy theories.
The Illuminati’s influence in the music industry is a topic of fascination and debate. Many believe that certain artists are part of the Illuminati or promote its ideologies through their music and symbolism. Artists like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Kanye West have been accused of referencing the Illuminati in their lyrics and music videos, sparking speculation about their involvement. Some see these references as a form of artistic expression, while others believe they are part of a larger conspiracy to control the music industry and shape cultural values.
The use of Illuminati symbolism and themes in music has been a point of contention, with some arguing that it promotes materialism, hedonism, and occultism. Others see it as a form of social commentary or critique of societal norms.
