Nigerian singer, Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua, popularly known as Seyi Shay, has said that she was once a member of the Illuminati.
The music star made this revelation during a recent episode of the OffAir Podcast with Gbemi and Toolz, which was released earlier in the week.
Seyi Shay, who is known for hit songs like Yolo Yolo and Right Now, said her involvement with the controversial secret society came during a particular phase in her music career.
She 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.”
Her statement comes amid years of speculation among fans about the alleged links between some Nigerian celebrities and the group.
According to her, while most fans are unaware of such ties, people within the entertainment industry often know those who were once connected to the society.
She explained, “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.”
Seyi Shay, who returned to the music scene after a brief break, has remained one of the few Nigerian artists to speak openly about such affiliations, making her disclosure stand out in an industry where most keep silent about the topic.
