Following the highly publicized arrest and indictment of rapper Diddy, chronically online internet sleuths and tinfoil hat–wearing conspiracy theorists have been doing what they do best: spreading insane rumors online.
An old conspiracy theory involving Beyoncé and Sia has been given a new lease of life due to the Diddy charges. A fake photoshopped tweet, edited to seem like it was shared from Sia’s official X account in 2020, read: “Baby, everything your own nice cat eats. Kangaroo is dead, nowhere and purple penguins every day. My egg.” Nonsense right? But circle the first letter of each word and it spells: “Beyonce kidnapped me.”
While there is no evidence to suggest Sia ever posted the statement, last month an X user reposted the meme with the caption, “she was trying to warn us,” in the wake of the sexual abuse allegations against Diddy. In a recent press conference an attorney told reporters that “many powerful people will be exposed” and “many dirty secrets will be revealed” during Diddy’s trial scheduled for May 5, 2025. Not surprisingly, the internet has run wild with that statement.
Due to Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z’s power in the music industry—and their well-documented relationship with Diddy throughout the years—a conspiracy theory doing the rounds online alleges that when other artists became a threat to Beyoncé, Diddy would have them killed.
The conspiracy theorists point to clues in the lyrics of rapper J. Cole’s 2013 hit song “She Knows,” which references R&B singers Aaliyah Haughton and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Both singers were rising in the music industry around the same time as Beyoncé when they died in freak accidents.
TikTok users have also pointed as further “proof” to a pattern of major artists often mentioning or thanking Beyoncé during acceptance speeches. Adele famously “broke” her Grammy in half to share with Beyonce in 2017 after describing her as the “artist of my life” in her acceptance speech (turns out the Grammy was broken accidentally).
Then who can forget the moment Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her 2009 acceptance speech at the VMAs to claim, “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” Maybe he was a secret Swiftie after all.
Compilations of these clips have the internet speculating that artists “fear” the singer and the power she wields. TikTokers have jumped on the conspiracy-turned-meme, making a point to thank Beyoncé after just about any occasion lest bad luck befall them.
