Kenyan socialite and beauty products entrepreneur Huddah Monroe has once again found herself in the spotlight, this time responding to persistent rumors suggesting she is a member of the Illuminati, a secret society often associated with conspiracy theories. In her signature unapologetic style, Monroe addressed these claims during an Instagram Q&A session, delivering a candid reply that left her followers both amused and curious.
The question, “Are you a member of the Illuminati?” came from one of Monroe’s followers, prompting a playful yet straightforward response from the beauty mogul. “I wish I were, because I wouldn’t be working this hard,” she said, dismissing the notion that Illuminati members suddenly gain unearned wealth. Her comment is reflective of the growing trend among celebrities to openly debunk the persistent rumors linking them to the shadowy world of the Illuminati, while maintaining their public personas as ambitious and hard-working figures.
Monroe’s response is far from her first time addressing the Illuminati rumors. Several months ago, she had to clarify the meaning behind an Instagram profile picture change, which some of her followers had linked to Illuminati symbolism. The image featured an eye, which, according to Monroe, represented a powerful, watchful eye that constantly oversees her. This explanation sought to debunk any association with the Illuminati, offering an alternative interpretation of the image.
Despite these denials, Monroe’s previous statements have sparked further intrigue. In July 2024, she took to Instagram to make a controversial statement that shocked many of her followers. When asked about her views on religion and the Illuminati, Monroe made it clear that she would choose the Illuminati over Christianity, accusing churchgoers of hypocrisy. “At this point, I would choose the Illuminati over Christianity. All believers are liars,” she said, lamenting the dishonesty she perceived in the Christian community. She further criticized how churchgoers attend services only for their money to “disappear.”
This bold statement was a departure from her earlier intentions, when she had announced plans to open a church upon her return to Kenya in 2026. Monroe, known for her unorthodox and often controversial views, had shared that she was called by the Holy Spirit to start a church, which she dubbed “Huddah Prosperity Church.” In a rather ironic twist, Monroe offered a more inclusive approach, stating that Muslims were also welcome at her church, which would aim to bring “peace of mind” and life-changing transformation.
The socialite’s church plans further highlight her ability to provoke thought and stir debate, as her mission statement for Huddah Prosperity Church emphasizes youth engagement and spiritual transformation. “The slogan for Huddah Prosperity Church is ‘Transforming Lives,’ and it will bring youth back to God and His teachings,” she explained, revealing that young people would be encouraged to participate in activities that foster spiritual growth and understanding.
The Illuminati, a term widely associated with conspiracy theories, is often believed to be a covert group of powerful figures influencing global events for their own benefit. While the original Illuminati was a real secret society founded in 1776 in Bavaria, its modern existence is mostly speculative. Despite this, the rumors surrounding the Illuminati continue to capture the public’s imagination, especially within the worlds of entertainment, politics, and finance.
In light of her controversial statements and ongoing public scrutiny, Monroe has become a focal point for discussions around celebrity culture, spirituality, and the intersection of both. Whether she is truly involved in the Illuminati or merely using the rumors for self-promotion, one thing is clear: Huddah Monroe’s unapologetic personality and ability to provoke thought have earned her a significant following, regardless of the conspiracy theories surrounding her.
As for her church plans, time will tell if she will indeed follow through with the “Huddah Prosperity Church” vision upon her return in 2026. In the meantime, she will likely continue to be a subject of both admiration and controversy, as she defies expectations and keeps her fans guessing.
