Diddy & Necromancy? The Full Breakdown of This Bizarre Internet Hoax

Published by Tony Brueski on March 3, 2025

How does a completely false rumor go from a single TikTok comment to a full-blown celebrity conspiracy theory? That’s exactly what happened when the internet exploded with claims that Diddy was involved in necromancy, occult rituals, and even necrophilia. But here’s the truth: there is no evidence. No court documents, no police records, not even a credible witness statement. So how did this happen? How did a totally fabricated story spread across social media, Reddit, and Twitter, tricking millions of people into believing the unbelievable?
In this episode, we break down the origins of the rumor, how misinformation spreads on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, and why people are so quick to believe wild claims about celebrities. From Diddy’s 2017 back tattoo to a former bodyguard’s bizarre Central Park ritual story, we examine the half-truths and outright fabrications that fueled this viral sensation. Along the way, we also debunk how necromancy isn’t even a crime, why necrophilia was never part of any actual case, and how the internet loves turning famous figures into larger-than-life myths.

This isn’t just a story about one conspiracy theory—it’s a case study on how social media warps reality. If you’ve ever wondered why fake news spreads so fast, why people believe in celebrity cults and occult secrets, or how one bad source can ignite a media firestorm, this episode is for you. Tune in as we expose the truth behind the Diddy necromancy hoax, how viral content fuels mass confusion, and what we can all learn from the internet’s strangest rumor yet.

Chainsaw Mama! Candace Craig Takes Out Mom To Get Credit Card! - Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Alright, this one is straight out of a horror movie—but unfortunately, it's all too real. A 46-year-old Maryland woman, Candace Craig, will be spending the rest of her life in prison for brutally murdering and dismembering her own mother with a chainsaw. And as if that wasn’t twisted enough, she then tried to blame the whole thing on her own daughters. Even the prosecutors were left stunned. Assistant State’s Attorney Shauna Coleman, clearly at a loss for words, summed it up perfectly: “This happens in movies and books, not in real life.” But here we are. This nightmare unfolded on May 23, 2023, at the family’s home near Hyattsville, Maryland. And what was the alleged motive? A credit card dispute. Yeah, you read that right. A fight over money led Candace Craig to commit one of the most gruesome crimes in recent memory. After killing her 71-year-old mother, Margaret Craig, authorities say Candace took things to an unthinkable level—she chopped up her mother’s body. And she didn’t do it alone. Her 21-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, was dragged into this mess too. According to prosecutors, the two of them tried burning Margaret’s remains on a grill—while also cooking chicken at the same time, apparently thinking the smell of BBQ would somehow cover up the stench of burning human flesh. Because nothing says “totally normal backyard cookout” like gasoline and human remains on the grill. Salia Hardy was later charged as an accessory after the fact. Her defense argued that she has learning disabilities, making her especially vulnerable to manipulation. She ended up taking a plea deal and later testified against her mother. When the case hit the courtroom, it was as disturbing as you’d expect. Judge Karen Mason didn’t mince words when she called Craig’s actions “something so unimaginable.” Then she handed down the ultimate punishment—life in prison without parole. And while the details of this case could make even the most seasoned crime reporter queasy, the prosecution didn’t want to focus on the horror. Instead, they tried to shift attention to Margaret Craig’s life rather than just the brutality of her death. “I would instead like to preserve the memory of Margaret Craig,” Coleman said, choosing to honor the victim rather than dwell on the carnage. One of the most damning pieces of evidence came from Salia Hardy herself. She testified that on the night of the murder, she heard her grandmother scream, but her mother brushed it off, saying something just fell in the basement. Oh, and then she casually warned her daughter not to go into grandma’s room. The next day, when Hardy was home alone, she made a horrifying discovery—her grandmother’s lifeless body, stuffed in a bin with a trash bag covering her head. And if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Candace Craig didn’t even try to justify what she had done. Instead, she told her daughter that they had to get rid of the DNA. The options she suggested? Acid, burning the body, or dismemberment. You know, just a casual brainstorming session about how to cover up matricide. Prosecutors laid out exactly how methodical Craig was. She went to Home Depot (because of course she did) and bought grilling supplies, including a can of gasoline. But her plan didn’t go smoothly. When they tried to burn Margaret Craig’s body on the grill, the fire got out of control, prompting neighbors to step in and help put it out. Firefighters were even called—yet somehow, no one discovered the body at that time. By the next morning, with the fire out and the remains "cooled off" (Hardy’s words, not mine), they brought Margaret Craig’s charred remains back inside the house. That’s when Candace allegedly took a chainsaw to what was left, dismembering her mother in the basement. When police eventually arrived for a welfare check on June 2—after a 911 caller reported they hadn’t heard from Margaret in days—they were hit with a smell that could only mean one thing. You guessed it—decomposition. Officers found blood and tissue on the floor. They found three white plastic trash bags. One of them? Contained what looked like brain matter. And sitting nearby? A knife and a chainsaw, both covered in human remains. During trial, Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Pamela Ferreira revealed that investigators recovered 67 pieces of Margaret Craig’s remains. But here’s the unsettling part—some body parts were never found. The condition of what they did find showed clear signs of both burning and dismemberment with a mechanical saw. While it was clear she was murdered, the exact cause of death? Still undetermined. After sentencing Craig to life without parole, Judge Mason left her with some haunting words: "What we have here is a woman who led a good life and left this world in such a way. And only you know, Ms. Craig, exactly what happened here." And that’s the terrifying part. Only Candace Craig knows exactly what happened that night. So, what’s left? A daughter who will forever be haunted by what she was forced to witness. A mother whose life was taken in one of the most violent ways imaginable. And a community still struggling to understand how someone could do something so horrific—especially to their own family. There are brutal crimes, and then there’s this. And while Candace Craig will never see the outside of a prison cell again, the real question is: What kind of person does this to their own mother? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
