Conspiracy theories are circulating online that Jay-Z and Beyoncé, along with P. Diddy, are involved in the deaths of Tupac, Aaliyah and other stars

The arrest of rapper P. Diddy (real name Sean Combs) on human trafficking charges has sparked conspiracy theories online about his fellow singers Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who are suspected of taking out their chart-topping rivals.

Thus, the song She Knows by J. Cole went viral on the Internet, in which many recognized Beyoncé's real last name - Knowles. The song contains the line: "Rest in peace, Aaliyah." This is the singer who died at the age of 22 in a car accident. Now her death is associated with Jay-Z and P. Diddy: someone suggested that they wanted to "get rid of her" so that she would not interfere with Beyoncé's career. In addition, Aaliyah once had an affair with Jay-Z, Beyoncé's husband. The song was released in 2013. There were even suggestions that Jay-Z and P. Diddy were involved in the death of Michael Jackson.

The network also recalled that former gang leader Dwayne Davis, who was accused of killing rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996, confessed to police that Sean Combs paid him $1 million for the murder. The court did not believe him at the time. But Eminem released a song about it, which includes the lyrics "But Kells, the day you drop a hit, Diddy will admit he killed Pac."

Eminem's July track Fuel also made other veiled accusations against P. Diddy: in the chorus, he says the word "rapper" with one intentional "P" missing to spell "raper" and repeats the words "essay" to sound like the acronym "SA" (for "sexual assault"). The verse ends with the line "Wait, he didn't just spell the word "Rapper" and leave out a P, did he?" The final words "P, did he" blur together to sound like "P. Diddy."

There is also a theory that Kanye West deliberately publicly humiliated Taylor Swift, allegedly hoping to lower her status in the eyes of Jay-Z and thereby save her from the fate that befell Aaliyah and other competitors of Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Thus, at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, when Taylor Swift was giving a speech after receiving the award for Best Female Video, Kanye West approached her, took the microphone and said that Beyoncé's video Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), nominated in the same category, is "one of the best videos of all time." Many believed that the rapper was trying to defend Taylor Swift.

Recall that after the arrest of 54-year-old Sean Combs, various details began to emerge about what happened at the parties he organized. It was reported that they had different "levels of access": some included stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelly Osbourne, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon, Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and many, many others. At another level of parties, which were called "freak shows", illegal things took place: they involved women and men who were drugged and forced to have sex.

Prosecutors claim that the women who participated in the "freak show" were so exhausted by the sex marathons that they needed IVs afterward. In addition, the rapper is now suspected of having molested Justin Bieber: a video has gone viral online in which the 14-year-old singer is in a state of altered consciousness at one of P. Diddy's parties.

The rapper is currently under arrest: a judge rejected his request to be released on $50 million bail.
