Witchcraft, a Plastic Surgery Clone, and ‘It Wasn’t COVID’: Inside Kelly Price’s Alarming New Video

Kelly Price has people talking again, and this time the conversation is wrapped in worry. The nine time Grammy nominated R&B veteran posted a long and intense video to her verified Instagram, more than one hundred and twenty minutes of a scripture heavy monologue in which she says she has spent the last three years being targeted, impersonated, and spiritually attacked. The tone was less performance and more outpouring, and by the time it ended, plenty of viewers were less interested in the drama than in whether she is okay.

Throughout the video, Kelly Price frames everything through the lens of spiritual warfare. She returns again and again to the language of battle, casting herself as someone protected by God and unbothered by what she calls demons and deities. “I’m kingdom, I’m not church,” she says at one point, leaning into the warrior faith posture she has been building across a teaching series she says she has been doing on the subject. She insists she is not afraid, that she prays daily, and that she will not be moved.

The claims themselves are sweeping. Kelly Price says someone has been stalking and impersonating her for roughly three years, allegedly going as far as to create accounts and documents in her name and even undergoing plastic surgery to look like her. She ties the whole ordeal to witchcraft, and in the video’s most striking moment, she claims her widely reported 2021 health crisis was not what the public was told. “It wasn’t COVID, it was witchcraft,” she says, alleging she was being poisoned during the very period when her loved ones feared for her safety. Baller Alert is not in a position to verify any of these claims, and they are presented here strictly as her own statements.

That 2021 stretch is part of why this one landed so heavily. Price went through a frightening and very public health scare that year, when her family reported her missing following a COVID hospitalization and a dispute played out over her whereabouts and who was caring for her. She eventually resurfaced and said she was recovering, but the episode left a lingering question mark that she has circled back to more than once since.

It is also not the first time Price has gone scorched earth on Instagram. Last fall she delivered a blistering response to critics who were body shaming her appearance after a performance, eventually turning off her comments while clapping back at trolls with the same unshakable confidence. Her bio still reads that she checks mics for a living, and she has leaned all the way into a gospel and deliverance focused chapter of her life and career. To her supporters, the warrior framing is simply who Kelly Price is now. To others, this particular video felt like something more concerning than her usual fire.

The response online has reflected exactly that split. Some viewers cheered her refusal to be intimidated and her faith forward defiance, treating it as another fearless Kelly Price moment. Many more responded with open concern, filling comment sections and reposts with messages hoping she has real support around her and is being looked after. The video covered enormous ground in a short window, moving between prayer, accusation, and prophecy, and that intensity is precisely what left so many people worried rather than entertained.

What is clear is that Kelly Price is carrying something heavy and has chosen to carry it out loud. She framed the whole thing as a testimony and a warning, telling viewers she has been quiet for years and finally decided to speak. Whether this turns out to be the start of a longer story she intends to tell or a moment she later walks back, the people who have loved her music for decades are mostly hoping for the same thing, that she is safe and surrounded by people who truly have her best interest at heart.
