Nigerians on social media have sparked intense reactions after a photo of popular singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, in conversation with French fashion icon and cultural figure Michele Lamy, surfaced online.
The viral image, which emerged on Saturday, shows Asake dressed in all black while engaging Lamy at a fashion event.
The photo has since triggered a wave of Illuminati-related comments from fans, with many suggesting the link-up was more than just about style or music.
In a post on X that has racked up over 3 million views, a user @Somtodeyforyou wrote, “Asake don join illuminati already. Do you know what it takes for you to know this lady?”
Another user, @Pee_mich, added, “Asake should be careful ke? Someone that is already deep into it.”
The post drew mixed opinions, with some suggesting that Lamy, known for her eccentric look, occult references, and strong influence in the high-fashion world is more than just a creative collaborator.
A user @GodwillShu wrote, “If you think Michele Lamy is just a fashion designer then you must be very ignorant. She is one of the chief cultist of the illuminati…”
Another @ @handsome_petyr added, “Michèle Lamy doesn’t age. Her fingers are forever inked, her words cryptic, her presence magnetic. You really think she’s just a fashion icon? Nah, she’s an illuminating force — a living portal. The elites don’t just dress in black… they answer to her.”
Others, however, pushed back on the conspiracy theories, calling the comments “ignorant” and pointing out that Lamy is a respected figure in the fashion world and the longtime partner of designer Rick Owens.
“She’s just a fashion icon, not a big deal, she is sombody’s wife . Even Asake get money pass her,”@tarimopa29 commented.
Instagram users also shared different views. @imere.oghenetega said, “This woman na ordinary person, it’s just her style.”
Another user, @godamazing64, commented, “Them no dey talk anything.”
@etanolgram wrote, “I cover you with the blood of Jesus,” while @carlos.dailytalker added, “Make she no give am wintch oo.”
@iamleviteofficial commented, “Mr Money worldwide — e don go Illuminati way.”
