Nigerian singer and songwriter Seyi Shay has become the centre of social media conversations following her unexpected claim of once being part of the Illuminati.
The revelation came during her appearance on the OffAir Podcast with Gbemi and Toolz, where the “Right Now” hitmaker casually mentioned her alleged past involvement.
“That’s when I was in the Illuminati. That’s when I joined the Illuminati,” she said, prompting surprise and curiosity among fans and industry watchers alike.

Seyi Shay further suggested that contrary to widespread assumptions, fans often know little about the true workings of the entertainment scene. According to her, insiders are more aware of the realities behind such secretive affiliations.
Her comment quickly went viral, drawing a wave of mixed reactions online. While some users dismissed it as a joke or publicity stunt, others praised her boldness for addressing a topic often shrouded in mystery and conspiracy.
Clips from the interview have since circulated widely across social media platforms, though the full episode — and the complete context of her statement — is yet to be released.
