How Erykah Badu’s Bodysuit Reveal at Thanksgiving Weekend R&B Fest 2023 Led to Illuminati Spell Casting Conspiracy Theories
Some fans believe that there was more to her show than meets the eye. They allege that Badu was casting a spell on the crowd, presumably using her hand jewelry, her bodysuit, and her light effects to hypnotize and manipulate them. Is there any truth to these claims, or are they just the product of overactive imaginations?
The conspiracy theory started trending after a fan posted footage from the performance on YouTube, where Badu revealed a bodysuit she was wearing underneath her jacket. Her curves made social media go crazy, but the video also led to many people in the comments claiming that Badu was casting a spell during the performance.
Replying to a user who wrote “she’s casting a spell”, another user wrote: “Facts I’ve been to one of her performances, and I understood what was going on. I looked around at people around me, and they were staring crazy looking like they were in a trance”
Why Do Some People Think Erykah Badu was Casting a Spell on the Crowd at Thanksgiving Weekend R&B Fest 2023?
The illuminati imagery, such as a segment where everything goes dark except for colorful rays in the shape of a tree shining around her, is fueling the spell casting conspiracy. As you’ll see below, inside the dome of made light Erykah Badu is waving her hands in a very specific pattern that conspiracy theorists think was part of a ritual.
In addition some conspiracy theorists claim that the shade of green used on her bodysuit, along with orb shaped accessory attached to her hand jewelry, are also signs of an Illuminati ritual. This is why some people think she was casting a spell during the performance. Are people just overreacting, or are they on to something?
The video has has sparked a heated debate among fans and critics. Some have defended Badu, saying that she was simply expressing her artistic vision and creativity, and that her performance was a tribute to her spirituality.
Others have accused her of being a member of the Illuminati, a secret society that allegedly controls the world through various means, including music and entertainment.
They point to her use of symbols, such as the orb shaped accessory attached to her hand jewelry, the tree-shaped light pattern behind her as she was waving her hands to the ceiling, and the green color of her bodysuit.
This is not the first time that Badu has been at the center of Illuminati conspiracy theories. Due to her unique fashion sense, her eclectic musical style, and her outspoken views, she has often been labeled as a rebel and a dissident by the mainstream media and the public.
In 2010, she caused a stir when she took off all her clothes in the middle of Dallas for her music video “Window Seat”, which was a commentary on groupthink and individuality.
In 2018, she faced backlash when she expressed sympathy for Bill Cosby. She has also been known to experiment with different religions and philosophies, such as Buddhism, Islam, and the Five Percent Nation.
Badu has not responded to the latest allegations of her being a spell-caster or an Illuminati puppet, and she probably doesn’t need to. She is one of the most influential and innovative artists of our time, but she is also one of the most misunderstood and maligned.
Her performance at the Thanksgiving Weekend R&B Fest 2023 seemed like a showcase of her talent and charisma, but was their more to it than meets eye? While some fans may believe that she was casting a spell on them, others argue they are just in awe of the bodysuit and artistic imagery.
