Beyonce STOLE Madonna High Witch Crown | ‘She SLOWED Her Aging’ | HO!!

Hollywood scandals come and go—but every few years, the internet grabs onto something so outrageous, so wild, and so straight-up cinematic that it takes on a life of its own. And this week’s obsession? A digital whisper-campaign claiming that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter has supposedly dethroned Madonna as Hollywood’s “High Witch,” slowed her aging through “dark practices,” and risen to the top of a secret celebrity occult hierarchy.

Yep. That’s where we are.

The rumors—which have been brewing for years in niche forums, conspiracy corners of TikTok, and a handful of ex-associate interviews—have resurfaced with volcanic force. Social media timelines are burning like it’s 2004, Reddit threads are longer than Beyoncé’s Renaissance guest list, and YouTube commentators are treating this like Beyoncé’s Lemonade sequel… if it was written by AHS: Coven.

TMZ investigates the swirling allegations, the people behind them, why these theories keep coming back—and how the Queen Bey found herself in the center of one of the strangest pop-culture storms of the decade.

THE ALLEGATIONS REIGNITE: WHY NOW?

It started with the resurfacing of a 2018 claim from Kimberly Thompson, Beyoncé’s former drummer of seven years. Thompson alleged Beyoncé engaged in “extreme witchcraft,” monitored her finances, and interfered with her career.

Her restraining-order request was denied, but the internet didn’t forget.

Fast forward to 2024–2025:
Old interviews, fan theories, and symbolic imagery from Beyoncé’s artistry collided with America’s conspiracy-culture boom, birthing a narrative alleging Beyoncé has not only practiced occult rituals—but has allegedly surpassed Madonna as Hollywood’s “High Priestess.”

Online commentators framed it like a dramatic throne-stealing moment worthy of a supernatural Netflix series:

“Madonna walked so Beyoncé could fly… on a broom.” – trending tweet

But beneath the memes lies an online ecosystem ready to believe the wildest things.

PART I — THE MADONNA CONNECTION: “PASSING THE CROWN”

Madonna has always been Hollywood’s lightning rod for religious and mystical controversy—from Kabbalah to provocative Christian imagery. But in the conspiracy corners of social media, she’s been cast as the industry’s alleged “high witch” for decades.

And the rumor mill says Beyoncé allegedly took her “crown.”

The narrative exploded when a popular YouTube gossip personality claimed:

“Madonna’s influence has faded, and the throne doesn’t stay empty. Beyoncé is the new high-ranking priestess in entertainment.”

Of course, there’s no evidence. But online audiences love a symbolic rivalry, and the idea of Beyoncé inheriting Madonna’s mystical mantle fits perfectly into the internet’s hunger for mythmaking.

The more Madonna’s public appearances sparked commentary about aging, the more conspiracy theorists framed Beyoncé’s seemingly ageless beauty as “evidence” she’d mastered something supernatural.

Which leads us to the next rumor wave…

PART II — THE “SLOWED AGING” THEORY

From her glowing Renaissance tour to her flawless public appearances, Beyoncé’s agelessness has fueled everything from admiration to outlandish speculation.

Conspiracy theorists spun a narrative that she had “slowed aging” through mystical rituals, claiming:

Her eyes “changed over the years”
Her “energy on stage is not human”
She “channels deities” during performances
“Sasha Fierce” was not a PR persona but a “spirit”

What actually exists?
Beyoncé has openly discussed her stage persona, Sasha Fierce, as a psychological performance tool—something countless artists use (think: David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, Lady Gaga’s many personas).

But online?
That became “possession.”

Symbolic art?
Became “proof.”

Flawless skin?
“Witchcraft.”

And when Yoruba-inspired imagery from Lemonade emerged—particularly the visual references to Oshun, the Yoruba spirit of femininity and rivers—conspiracy theorists latched on.

Cultural appreciation became “occult confession.”

PART III — FORMER ASSOCIATES COME FORWARD (AGAIN)

After Thompson’s 2018 allegations, a former dancer named Kada Shari resurfaced years later claiming Beyoncé tried to punish her for not joining a “demonic cult.”

The claims were dramatic, emotional—and completely unsupported by evidence.

But the internet doesn’t care about evidence.

It cares about patterns. And once more than one ex-associate speaks out, even unverified claims start looking like a “case” in the public imagination.

Never mind that:

Neither woman provided corroborating evidence
No law enforcement confirmed anything
Courts dismissed their filings

Online conspiracy worlds operate on vibes, not facts.

PART IV — THE RELIGIOUS COMMENTATORS ENTER THE CHAT

Several Christian influencers and pastors have gone viral condemning Beyoncé for supposed occult ties.

Pastor Tiffany Montgomery famously said:

“I rebuke anyone going to Beyoncé’s concert.”

She claimed Beyoncé invoked deities, accused Jay-Z of blasphemy, and warned Christians to avoid her music.

Religious commentary—mixed with Beyoncé’s artistic references to African spirituality—became the perfect fuel for conspiracy theorists already looking for patterns.

Another Christian figure, Jackie Hill Perry, expressed regret for once enjoying Beyoncé’s work after learning about the spiritual themes. Again, not accusations of wrongdoing—just personal spiritual conviction.

But religious commentary plus Beyoncé equals viral content, and the rumor wildfire spread.

PART V — ADRENOCHROME? REALLY?

As the story grew, conspiracy theorists dragged Beyoncé into the debunked, dangerous “elites drink children’s blood” adrenochrome myth—a theory previously connected to Pizzagate, QAnon, and political hoaxes.

There is:

No evidence
No credible source
No victim or witness
No law enforcement involvement

Yet the rumor persists in certain cultural pockets, recycling the same language each time a celebrity looks youthful or performs symbolic art.

Beyoncé became an easy target because:

She’s powerful
She’s private
She uses mythology and symbolism
Conspiracy culture thrives on racialized fear of African religions

This rumor says more about society’s fears than it does about Beyoncé.

PART VI — THE SOCIAL MEDIA ECHO CHAMBER

So why do these allegations stick?

Beyoncé is one of the most powerful entertainers alive.

Power attracts conspiracy theories—always has.

Her art uses symbolism.

Symbolism + internet = “decoded messages.”

African spirituality gets demonized online.

Anything non-Christian gets misinterpreted as “dark.”

People love a villain narrative.

Especially when the celebrity is a woman… and especially a Black woman dominating global entertainment.

Social media rewards extremity.

The more shocking the claim, the more clicks.

Beyoncé becomes both goddess and villain—depending on who’s telling the story.

PART VII — WHAT’S ACTUALLY TRUE?

Here’s what’s real:

Beyoncé is deeply inspired by African, Southern, and Black American cultural traditions.
She uses spirituality as symbolism in her art.
She’s extremely private, which breeds speculation.
She has fired or parted ways with employees—like any celebrity.
Some ex-associates have made unverified allegations over the years.

Here’s what’s not real:

Witch covens
Child-harm conspiracies
Adrenochrome harvesting
Demonic possession
Occult hierarchies in Hollywood

These are internet myths, not facts.

But myths spread because they’re entertaining—and Beyoncé, whether she wants it or not, has become the mythological figure of modern pop culture.

PART VIII — WHY THE PUBLIC CAN’T LET IT GO

Because Beyoncé doesn’t just make music.

She creates cinema.
Symbolism.
Mystique.

She’s larger than life, which invites people to fill in the blanks with their own fantasies—or fears.

And Madonna?
For decades, she was the controversy queen.
Beyoncé inherited none of Madonna’s scandals—but all of her mythology.

The internet crowned Beyoncé long ago.

This conspiracy wave just made it literal.

CONCLUSION — THE “HIGH WITCH” CROWN WAS NEVER REAL… BUT THE MYTH LIVES ON

Neither Madonna nor Beyoncé is a witch.
No covens. No rituals. No blood. No supernatural throne.

But in the imagination of the internet?

Beyoncé stole Madonna’s crown.
She reigns as the “High Witch of Hollywood.”
She slowed aging.
She commands shadows, symbols, and secret powers.

Not in reality—but in the digital folklore we’ve built around celebrity culture.

And if there’s one thing Beyoncé has proven?

She doesn’t need magic to be immortal.
Her influence does that for her.
