Katy Perry has broken her silence on a wild conspiracy theory that she is JonBenét Ramsey.

There are many bizarre celebrity conspiracy theories out there, and one linked to Perry is perhaps one of the strangest.

With evidence circulating from 2014, many people believe it could be true.

JonBenét, a six-year-old beauty queen, was found brutally murdered in the basement of her parents’ home in Boulder, Colorado, around Christmas in 1996, hours after being reported missing.

Decades later, JonBenét’s case remains unsolved. Yet some internet users believe she never actually died at all.

Online, conspiracy theorists claim JonBenét is still alive today and is actually singer Perry.

Growing up, Perry went by her real name, Katy Hudson, and started her career as a gospel singer. She grew up in a Christian household and regularly attended church.

Her career took off when she pivoted to her stage name, Katy Perry, and began releasing pop music.

The success of her song ‘I Kissed A Boy’ made her a staple in the music scene.

In a now-deleted YouTube video from 2014, an unseen user claimed that the pop star is JonBenét.

The user alleged: “JonBenét Ramsey did not die, nobody died, nobody got hurt.”

The unseen YouTuber claimed it was all part of a sacrifice to make Perry an international star.

The user also shared a range of clips that showed their ‘likeness,’ highlighting similar facial features such as the jaws and noses.

However, many people are not convinced.

They’ve pointed out that JonBenét was born on August 6, 1990, while Perry was born on October 25, 1984.

Yet the conspiracy theory has become so wild that Perry has apparently addressed it.

An AI-generated video shared on Instagram shows JonBenét morphing into the ‘Last Friday Night’ singer in an attempt to showcase their alleged similarities.

In the comments, Perry reportedly responded: “Wait, am I?”

This remark has sparked outrage among some of the singer’s fans, who have criticised her lack of sensitivity regarding the matter.

“KP, that is disgusting. If you’re going to encourage this and not offer proof… how could you?!” one person commented.

Another added: “No, please don’t joke like this. The little girl was murdered, and her family destroyed.”

Investigations into JonBenét’s case are ongoing.

Her father, John, 81, told NBC News he met with Boulder’s new police chief and has been given ‘great hope.’
