Craig David responds to rumours he was killed and replaced by a body-double in bizarre conspiracy theory interview

Craig David has now responded to a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that the 'real' 7 Days singer was actually killed after the release of his second album over 5 years ago, and replaced by a body-building impostor.

Appearing as a guest on the podcast It's All Connected, the 36-year-old addressed the strange rumours by jokingly playing along with the theory.

That could well be the case, you never know what the deal is. And that stunt double is coming through well. It's almost like being reborn,' he joked.  

'He took the baton and he's like: 'OK great. Cool, that was nice what you did on Born To Do It and Slicker Than Your Average was nice. Let me take that baton from you,' he went on. 

On the topic of conspiracy theories in general, the The British singer and DJ said: 'I'm very on the periphery when it comes to conspiracy theories. I feel there's a lot of nonsense going on.'

Put your money where your mouth is: Dishing out advice to budding conspiracy theorists, Craig added: 'Get involved. If you really want to know if there's aliens, then start working for NASA' 

Dishing out advice to budding conspiracy theorists, Craig added: 'Get involved. If you really want to know if there's aliens, then start working for NASA.' 

When quizzed by the hosts as to whether he was part of the Illuminati, Craig humorously evaded the question and simply questioned whether the interviewer was in fact unknowingly part of the alleged secret society. 

Last month, the RnB hit-maker was forced to deny rumours that he is gay, telling KIIS FM's The Thinkergirls that he's definitely straight, and added that the seemingly never-ending speculation doesn't bother him.

 

 

'Sometimes people can get very aggressive with their response when they're heterosexual, I find that quite strange,' the unmarried crooner said.

He added: 'Ok, so someone thought you were gay, someone thought you were straight, either or, all good in the hood.'

Meanwhile, his recent return to the music industry comes after a five-year hiatus, with his new album Following My Intuition topping UK charts.
