Sky B explained that the pressure to succeed in the mid-2000s was overwhelming, especially as upcoming artists watched their peers rise to fame almost overnight.
He said that his desire to match the success of Mo’Hits Records' boss, Don Jazzy, pushed him toward desperate decisions.
According to the singer, he asked a close friend to help him contact the Illuminati in 2007, believing it was one of the shortcuts to stardom at the time.
According to him, his friend eventually returned with the contact, and he alleged that several artists from his era joined the group and later rose to prominence.
The Ma Bebe hitmaker explained that he was given some spiritual concoctions made with strange ingredients to rub on his body and other rituals he had to perform as directed by the Illuminati in order to rise to stardom.
Sky B said the pursuit of fame was so intense that many young artists were willing to explore extreme options just to break into the spotlight.
Reflecting on his own path, the singer noted that his life eventually took a different turn, forcing him to think deeply about fame, his personal choices and the high price attached to success.
