Nor is “satanic panic” new to hip-hop either, as just recently Lil Nas-X caused a similar hubbub. This is just the latest iteration of a Christian mom burning her kids’ Judas Priest albums. ![]() Occult imagery paired with music is as old as popular music itself. Another is Scott tweeting “Feast this Friday” before the event. One, frequently cited, is the large head Scott fans walked through to get into the festival (it’s the head from Scott's album Astroworld) resembling the famous Hieronymus Bosch painting Christ in Limbo. Much of it, either real or perceived, featured nods to the occult. ![]() Scott and his organizers didn’t help matters with the imagery and messaging they used heading into Astroworld. Like with all of these conspiracies, the numerology being broken down is never-ending and includes the time Scott posted his apology on Instagram, Kris Jenner’s recent 66th birthday, and that “Astroworld was exactly 666 months + 6 days after the founding of the Church of Satan.” ![]() The conspiracies offer a variety of “proofs,” like the T-shirt Scott was wearing, the imagery surrounding the event, and, of course, doctored and misrepresentations of videos from the concert. So it’s depressingly unsurprising that a plethora of content has been created pushing the conspiracy that a popular rapper conducted a large-scale ritualistic sacrifice to Satan in plain sight took place this weekend. It appears to be another incredibly sad instance of people being trampled and suffocated to death at a concert, but in the world we now live in, every mass-death event is proof of a grand conspiracy or something greater.
