"Karmageddon" is a single by Australian singer-songwriter Iyah May, first uploaded to YouTube on 13 November 2024[1] and released to streaming services the same day.
Describing the song as "a striking anthem for these turbulent times", the artist left no doubt about which subject matter was involved, touching upon perceived toxicity and corruption in left–right politics, COVID-19 disinformation, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, violence against women, identity politics, gun rights, the abortion debate, cancel culture—and the general public's indifference to all of the above.
The artist takes aim at a number of celebrities including (Elon) Musk,[3] Taylor (Swift), Kim (Kardashian), Kanye (West), Drake, Kendrick (Lamar) and (Anthony) Fauci.
May, who had previously released four singles through her manager,[5] was forced to forgo using a record label for "Karmageddon", instead self-releasing it after she refused to agree to censor one line in the song.
[5] She has said that the song received "an overwhelming amount of support from people all over the world" despite her management company having disassociated itself from its release.
