Lily Allen 'Sheezus' Video Features Satan, Occult Images, Name-Checks Beyonce, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lorde

English recording artist Lily Allen took a hiatus from music in 2009 to get married and have kids but is now back with a vengeance and has immediately sparked controversy with sacrilegious themes in her new video, album, and song "Sheezus."

The singer released her video for the title track "Sheezus" this week. In the song Allen is fighting to regain a place amongst the biggest names in the industry.

The phrase "Give me that crown, *****, I wanna be Sheezus," is the controversial hook of the song, although the artist has indicated that her song is not intended to be offensive or taken seriously, and she has previously said that "the idea of the song is the ridiculousness that there even is a Sheezus."

The tongue-in-cheek video is immersed in hallucinogenic visuals, with several symbols seen in occult practices; triangles, inverted crosses, and a hooded Allen looking confident with her eyes painted over with special effects.

"I've had enough of persecution and conditioning" she sings. Allen also made mention of a statement promoted in monarch programming claiming that people are "only animal."

Allen went on to make references to statements regularly used in Christianity. She, believing all glory should be given to her, said, "Be nice to me, I'll make you one of my disciples."

Toward the end of the video the singer flips to a long-haired angelic looking flower child, back-lit by sunlight and the cosmos, as she utters with her best look of innocence:

"I am born again, now run along and tell
All of your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
Let me be Sheezus"

Allen then turns into a horned creature that alludes to Satan.

Allen discredited her pursuit for the throne when she talked to MTV News last month about the single. She said she really finds the whole competition "ridiculous."

"It's kind of ridiculous because I name-check Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lorde, and I don't think that I could even possibly take one tiny diamond off of any of their crowns," she explained. "The idea of the song is the ridiculousness that there even is a Sheezus."

The singer mentioned in a recent MTV interview that all the pop stars she referenced in her song can be "Jesus."

People immediately took to the Internet with headlines such as "All Praise Sheezus!" and claimed they need "Sheezus.

Meanwhile, others shared their disappointment and stated their beliefs that the video is another sign of the Illuminati.

"Iluminatti triangles everywhere, go away satan!," one comment read.

Another said, "Did I just join a cult?"

While another called her the "Female Alien Jesus?"

Allen announced the title of her 2014 release on the Graham Norton show, and confessed to the UK television host, "It's a confident title choice - and a little nod to Kanye West." West was the first to controversially take the name of Jesus and switch it to redirect all of the attention to himself.

Allen's Sheezus album credits thank both the rapper and God. "Kanye and Jesus I've got nothing but respect for both of y'all."

She continued and said calling herself "Sheezus" was "a bit of a LOL" and claimed that if Amy Winehouse were alive "she'd pull off Sheezus with ease."


It has become a regular occurrence lately to see pictures of celebrities adorned in place of Jesus Christ. Many claim these popular figures take the crown of "savior."

Sheezus, Yeezus, Beysus, are these all just innocent gimmicks submerging pop culture or a sign of rebellion against God and His sovereignty?
