Top 10 Most Unhinged Celebrity Conspiracy Theories
#10: Jay-Z Can Time Travel
Top 20 Celebrity Death Conspiracy Theories
Jay-Z might “Run This Town” now, but is it possible he was the king of New York back in 1939? Well, some people think so due to a photo posted by the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Centre for Research in Black Culture in 2013. The photograph was taken of a man in Harlem in 1939 - a man who seems to bear Jay-Z’s likeness. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and certain folks thought this one was saying that Jay-Z is a time traveler. Granted, the guy in the photo looks a lot like him. But we’re pretty sure that while the artist might have 99 problems, time traveling ain’t one!
#9: Justin Bieber Is a Reptoid
Top 10 Times Justin & Hailey Bieber Made Us Believe in Love
You may have heard Justin Bieber called a lot of things, but did you know that some folks call him a reptile? And no, we aren’t talking about his haters using the term as an insult - we mean there are people who think he is an actual Reptilian humanoid. As far as proof of this goes, we don’t have much to go on besides many less-than-reliable sources and sketchy eyewitness accounts of the singer’s alleged shapeshifting. And if you were curious as to what Bieber’s animal form supposedly looks like, he’s said to have a "black stripe down the middle" and "big scaly claws." Let’s just say we doubt that's why he called his 2020 album “Changes.”
#8: Kanye West & Taylor Swift’s Rivalry Was Fake
Top 10 Times Kanye West Took Us by Surprise
Remember when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video acceptance speech to make sure everyone knew how great Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” video was? It’s one of the most famous and cringe-inducing moments in the history of the VMAs. But according to one rather dubious theory, there was never any bad blood between the two, as the whole thing was planned. Because you know what they say, all publicity is good publicity, and this event brought both artists lots of press. If you want to take things to the next level, there’s another angle on this conspiracy that claims the interruption served as Swift’s initiation into the Illuminati…
#7: Tupac Shakur Is Still Alive
The Untold Story of Tupac's Murder Timeline Explained
Who killed Tupac? According to some conspiracy theorists the answer is no one, because Shakur faked his death to escape the pressures of fame. Proponents of the theory point to things like the fact that his killers were never caught. They also claim he would’ve been wearing a bulletproof vest. Oh, they also claim there’s a video of Pac in a yellow raincoat. While we’re here, there are also folks who believe that Steve Jobs isn’t dead, either. Check out this image that made the rounds on Reddit. We see the resemblance, especially if you picture him in jeans and a black turtleneck, but this is still far-fetched.
#6: Lorde Is Middle-Aged
Many of us might call Lorde mature or say she’s an old soul, but those are just figures of speech. Certain individuals out there are convinced she’s just plain old. Lorde, Wikipedia and even her birth certificate tell us that the New Zealand singer was born on November 7th, 1996. Yet there are those who believe that she’s actually a woman in her forties lying about her age. As for that birth certificate, these people look at it as nothing more than a forged document. And what about her dancing? Her moves during live performances have been dubbed quirky, but that doesn’t prove anything!
#5: Keanu Reeves Is immortal
Top 20 Moments That Made Us Love Keanu Reeves
Billy Joel told us that “Only the Good Die Young”, but per this theory, Keanu Reeves, who most agree is quintessentially good, can never die! There’s an entire website dedicated to this idea, keanuisimmortal.com. According to the site, the evidence of Reeve’s immortality is overwhelming. It includes the fact that he looks youthful no matter how many years pass, as well as his uncanny physical similarity to famous figures dating back centuries. Is that really Charlemagne and Paul Mounet or are they all Reeves? We also can’t forget about his great friendliness, that, according to the conspiracy, can only come from the wisdom of immortal living.
#4: Stevie Wonder Can See
We haven’t been able to figure out why Stevie Wonder would be pretending to be blind for all these years, but alas that is one theory out there. Looking for proof? Well, some will make problematic, rather ableist arguments, pointing to the fact that Wonder is often seen at sporting events, for instance. But the moment that gets brought up all the time is the microphone stand. Watch as Paul McCartney runs across the stage to the piano, passes in front of Wonder, and knocks over the stand. The latter artist promptly reacts, reaching out his hand to catch it. We have another theory though: maybe Stevie Wonder is Daredevil?
#3: Avril Lavigne Is Dead
We’ve discussed a number of theories involving dead celebrities who are supposedly still alive. But this one takes the opposite route - claiming that singer Avril Lavigne has been dead for years. Stick with us here, this one is a little “complicated”. The main idea here is that she passed away after “Let Go,” her first studio album, was put out into the world. However, her label allegedly covered it up in order to continue making money off her popularity, and had her body double, Melissa Vandella, literally fill her shoes. Believers notably point to so-called changes in her persona, as well as supposed physical discrepancies. Lavigne has denied the story.
#2: Beyoncé Pregnancy Theories
Top 10 Moments That Made Us Love Beyoncé
When it comes to Beyoncé and pregnancy there are two different conspiracies out there. The first one involves her and her sister Solange. Or should we say, her DAUGHTER? The theory here is that Beyoncé got pregnant when she was young and the family covered it up by calling them sisters. And yes, we know that Beyoncé and Solange were only born about 5 years apart. However, proponents of the conspiracy simply say that Bey’s real birth year is 1974 and that any claim to the contrary was fabricated to fit the “siblings” story. Our second unhinged Queen Bey pregnancy theory speculates that Blue Ivy Carter was born from a surrogate because of a dress crease that aroused suspicion.
#1: Katy Perry Is JonBenét Ramsey
Top 10 Stunning Katy Perry Red Carpet Looks
While there are plenty of theories out there revolving around JonBenét Ramsey’s murder and who’s responsible, this one takes issue with all of them. According to it, Ramsey is still alive. And not only is she alive, she’s now one of the biggest pop stars in the world: Katy Perry. The motive for supposedly faking the death was allegedly profit and a desire for celebrity. Believers will say you just need to look at pictures of Perry and Ramsey side-by-side. They maybe kind of look somewhat alike? And apparently, their parents sort of do too? Conspiracies don’t get much more outrageous than this…
