There is evidence saying that potentially Beyonce died at the rise of her stardom and then was cloned. When she was 'cloned', she joined the Illuminati and that is how she supposedly got more famous.

This claim is false and misleading. The site that the post links to, Capital UK, is a European radio network that was addressing a conspiracy theory. This quote in from the article, "A theory that will 100% blow your mind." So while the article doesn't claim it to be true, its headline is misleading and can risk spreading misinformation.

This claim is entirely misleading and false. Beyonce was not cloned and her affiliation with the Illuminati is speculation. Further, the source provided is not reliable.

This is a crazy claim. I wonder how this rumor started. Was there anything that happened for someone to believe she died and was cloned. What are your sources that she was not?
Was the source used biased?

This claim is completely false and very misleading. The article linked below the claim is an article from a new station that was just addressing these conspiracy theories. They were not saying this was true.

This claim is false and misleading. At least two of the sources that this article links to -- a Facebook post and a YouTube video -- are unavailable. Furthermore, the article was posted on a United Kingdom music station website which discusses opinions, and it was not attempting to confirm this claim.
