IYAH MAY's Bold 'Karmageddon' Calls Out Big Pharma, Genocide, and Pop Culture Manipulation
"
," the explosive new single from IYAH MAY, is a powerful and controversial commentary on the corruption and chaos in today's world. The track boldly addresses a wide range of societal issues, from Big Pharma's greed and profiteering during the pandemic to the rise of cancel culture and the darkness lurking behind Hollywood and pop culture. With unapologetic lyrics and a fearless stance, IYAH MAY delivers a song that refuses to shy away from uncomfortable truths, setting the stage for an urgent conversation on the state of our world.
Exposing Society's Most Disturbing Realities
"Karmageddon" doesn't hold back, challenging listeners to confront the political and social divisions plaguing modern society. The track critiques everything from media manipulation to corporate greed and the disturbing influence of celebrity culture. As IYAH MAY herself puts it, the song is a "bold critique" of a world obsessed with profit, polarization, and the culture of division that has taken hold in recent years.
Part of the song's raw energy is captured in the provocative lyrics:
"Gender, guns, religion and abortion rights
You better pick a tribe and hate the other side
Keep scrolling
But did you see Taylor live?
Man made virus watch the millions die
Biggest profit of their lives
Here's inflation that's your prize
This is Karmageddon"
The lyrics sharply criticize the polarization of society, where issues like gender, guns, and abortion rights are used to drive a wedge between people. IYAH MAY sarcastically questions how easily society is distracted by trivial matters like celebrity performances---"Did you see Taylor live?"---while more pressing issues, like the impact of a man-made virus, are ignored. The reference to Big Pharma's profits during the pandemic underscores the song's critique of the healthcare system's role in exacerbating societal crises for financial gain.
The track also takes aim at the troubling rise of inflation and its devastating impact on everyday people, positioning it as the "prize" for those at the top.
A Stand Against Cancel Culture and Media Lies
The song does not stop at Big Pharma---it extends its critique to cancel culture and the overwhelming presence of media lies:
"Turn on the news and eat their lies
Kim or Kanye pick a side
Cancel culture what a vibe
This is Karmageddon"
IYAH MAY cuts through the noise with these lines, reflecting how society is fed misinformation and pushed to choose sides based on superficial divisions. The reference to celebrities like Kim or Kanye highlights the distractions that keep the public's attention away from more important matters, while "cancel culture" is called out for its role in silencing dissenting voices.
Politics, Corporations, and Genocide: The Ultimate Critique
Perhaps the most scathing lines of the song come when IYAH MAY tackles the intertwining of politics and corporate greed:
