Her own sister's mother and an evil witch: the most ridiculous rumors about Beyoncé (18 photos)

She is a global superstar who is constantly in the spotlight. Because of this, some of the strangest and most absurd rumors in show business circulate about Beyoncé.

Recently, Beyoncé was accused of fabricating her African-American heritage and actually being Italian. This isn't the strangest theory about the star's identity. From witch and clone to her own sister's mother—read on to discover the most ridiculous speculations about the Queen of R&B.





Just the other day, American politician Miller tweeted that 38-year-old Beyoncé is actually Italian, not African-American. He claims the singer's name is Ann Marie Lastrassi and that she is lying about her true origins. The Florida candidate also accused the star of sending coded messages to globalists in her song "Formation." Beyoncé's fans fiercely criticized Miller, but this rumor is far from the first in the stunning mixed-race star's career.

Beyoncé has frequently been the subject of malicious and simply absurd conspiracy theories. She has been accused of witchcraft, faking a pregnancy, and belonging to a secret society.

Witch

A drummer who worked on stage with Beyoncé for many years claimed that the singer practices witchcraft. Kimberly Thompson alleged that the star would inhabit the bodies of other people.





Kimberly Thompson claimed that Beyoncé killed her kitten and sought a restraining order against her. The musician, who worked with the singer for seven years, alleged that the singer began stalking and sexually harassing her using black magic. Furthermore, the drummer accused the Queen of R&B of wiretapping her phone and controlling her finances through witchcraft. Kimberly detailed all of this in a lawsuit, but the judge denied the request for a temporary restraining order.

Secret Illuminati Member

A conspiracy theory that long circulated around Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z involved the Illuminati. Rumors abounded that the celebrity couple belonged to the secret organization.

The Illuminati society was founded in the mid-18th century by the Bavarian professor Adam Weishaupt. He sought to create an academic organization of modern thinkers to challenge the traditional views of the Catholic Church. Today, some conspiracy theorists speculate that the Illuminati are to blame for everything from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It is said that this occult circle includes the powerful and wealthy figures who rule the world.

Observant conspiracy theorists have frequently spotted Beyoncé making an Illuminati hand sign on stage—a gesture associated with the devil. Jay-Z’s famous diamond-shaped hand gestures have also been interpreted as a nod to members of the secret society.

Diabolical symbols have also been spotted in the singer's music videos. Incredibly, conspiracy theorists even found a hidden meaning in her daughter Blue Ivy's name: "Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati’s Very Youngest." Furthermore, the news of her twin pregnancy—shared by Beyoncé on Instagram on February 1, 2017—sparked rumors of a connection to occultists due to the symbolism of the numbers in the date.

Fake Pregnancy

In 2011, rumors leaked to the media that the singer was faking her pregnancy.

Beyoncé appeared on a TV show wearing a loose-fitting dress. In one shot, the star leaned forward, and her belly appeared to fold or crease. This photo sparked suspicions that the pregnancy was fake. The singer stated that rumors about surrogacy hurt her deeply, as she had carried her eldest daughter, Ivy, herself.

Detractors claimed that Blue Ivy—the spitting image of her stunning mother—was actually the daughter of Jay-Z and another woman.

Death in 2000

Every music lover recognizes this stunning beauty with the amazing voice, yet some people believe that a lookalike is performing in her place today. Rumors have circulated in the media claiming that Beyoncé died in 2000 and has been replaced by clones for the past 20 years. According to this wild theory, producers decided to clone the singer using her stem cells so that her music could live on forever, even after her death.

Other theorists believe the star died sometime in the last decade. To back up these rumors, a fan posted two photos of Beyoncé on social media—one of the "real" singer and one of the "fake"—pointing out differences in her hairline and smile. He suggests that the 2016 photo actually shows a clone of the singer.

Seven Years Older

Like many other stars, Beyoncé has been accused of lying about her age. Her official date of birth is September 4, 1981, but some suspect she was actually born on September 4, 1974.

Rumors surfaced in 2006 when a Texas health department employee claimed to have found a record of her birth in the archives. If his account is to be believed, Beyoncé would now be 45 years old.

Fueling the gossip is the fact that there are almost no photos of the singer from her early youth. Furthermore, her father, Mathew Knowles, made a few odd slips of the tongue regarding his daughter's age during interviews. He once remarked that Beyoncé was roughly the same age as Pink and Usher. Those popular singers are in their 40s, which would make the Queen of R&B older than officially stated.

Mother to her own sister

Conspiracy theorists obsessed with the age issue claim that the singer's sister, 34-year-old Solange Knowles, is actually her daughter. These bizarre speculations stem from the theory that Beyoncé is older than official records indicate.

Rumors circulate that the star gave birth to Solange while she was still a teenager. A story straight out of a soap opera claims that Matthew and Tina Knowles concealed the fact that their daughter had given birth to a child, claiming the baby as their own instead. Rumor has it that a "cousin" leaked this information to the press.

She made the members of Destiny’s Child change their names

News recently surfaced that Beyoncé is discussing a possible reunion with her fellow Destiny’s Child members, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

Another shocking theory suggests that it was Beyoncé who forced the singers to perform under names other than their own. Michelle (born Tenitra) and Kelly (born Kelendria) were compelled to adopt stage names to ensure Beyoncé stood out; Beyoncé herself adopted a stage name based on her mother’s maiden name, Beyincé. It is said that the singer's father wanted his daughter to be the center of attention.

Nevertheless, the close-knit trio performed together at Coachella two years ago. The group might perform live and record new music once the coronavirus pandemic is over.

Beyoncé makes headlines for reasons beyond silly gossip. Sometimes, the singer does strange things herself. For instance, a few years ago, she bought an old church.
