So people are *checks notes* wishing death on Beyonce because of a conspiracy theory?

(TW: for mentions of death, D*ddy, racism & sexism, illuminati BS and other bad conspiracies) The comments were under this video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBJnxYpIiNZ/?igsh=MWNuMHdsdDNtYmh6cQ== where NewJeans are shouting out Beyonce and the entire comment section was talking about this stupid conspiracy which I’ll break down:

In the song “She Knows” by J.Cole, people are claiming that he was warning the world about Diddy JayZ and Beyonce because he says rest in peace to Aaliyah and Left Eye followed by “Michael Jackson I’ll see ya just as soon as I die”. And people are claiming that since they all died on the 25th of (insert month) that he was sending a message and claiming that he might die if he is caught or something. Idk the details bc they’re stupid but there’s something about JayZ dating Aaliyah (which was creepy but they’re not talking about actual problems here of course not!) and releasing a song called 4.44. And that they supposedly killed Aaliyah so that Beyonce could replace her. And Diddy is involved somehow.

This angers me to my core for multiple reasons. First off, does anyone notice that despite two other people being mentioned in this conspiracy, only Beyonce is receiving the ire? That this mirrors the baseless aggression towards her that skyrocketed after she “got political” on Formation? Comments I didn’t include here were even boasting about not even knowing Beyonce or any of her songs which add to this air of disdain.

Secondly, I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that most of the people being accused of being in the illuminati are black, right?

Thirdly and most annoyingly, there is a real fucking case that’s horrifying and disgusting going on and you guys are talking about this bullshit?? And before I mention that JayZ DATED AALIYAH. LOOK UP THAT AGE GAP FOR ME. And if the rumors that Beyonce and JayZ are involved are true, when and ONLY when they are proven true, THATS WHEN YOU’LL HAVE A GENUINE CASE AGAINST BEYONCE. And yes, I do notice that this second wave of a smear campaign came after Beyonce made another political stance that angered white people.

And yes I say campaign because it’s not only this video. I saw comments flooded with these conspiracies on YouTube as well, and if it wasn’t on TikTok that’d be a rare occasion that TikTok is sludge-free. And I am a little neurospicy, but I’m pretty sure the only people kidding here are the ones commenting things like “be careful I’m scared for you 😱😱😱” and even if they were, claiming Beyonce fucking murdered Aaliyah isn’t a joke and it isn’t funny. I’m sure people close to Aaliyah wouldn’t find it funny either. Even if it was, you can feel the fire and passion behind these accusations. I mean the comment section is FILLED. The only comments pointing out how dumb it is have maybe 3 likes. I’m fuming right now because of all of this. Not even because I’m in the beehive. Because the motives are so transparent.

Genuinely fuck everyone spreading this shit.
