Mentor Sessions Ep. 050: Iyah May Risks It All With Karmageddon - Exposes Big Pharma, Fiat Inflation, Goes Independent, and Gets Live Orange-Pilled on Bitcoin
What if a trained doctor walked away from medicine, signed a major label dealâthen blew it all up with one fearless song calling out Big Pharma profits, man-made viruses, corrupt institutions, geopolitical hypocrisy, and runaway fiat inflation? Australian artist Iyah May did exactly that with her viral hit Karmageddon, facing an ultimatum from her manager, parting ways with her label, losing friends and family supportâyet gaining millions of awake fans desperate for an authentic voice refusing to stay silent.
In this raw Mentor Sessions interview on the BTC Sessions channel, Iyah opens up about choosing artistic integrity over security, her leap from med school to music in New York, the personal toll of truth-telling during Covid, and why cancel culture is finally crumbling as art reclaims the cultural battlefield. She unpacks Rockefeller's pharmaceutical takeover, why modern medicine treats symptoms for profit instead of root causes, the healing power of sunlight, real food, and decentralized healthâand how fiat inflation fuels fear, short-term thinking, and cultural decay.
Fresh from rubbing shoulders with Bitcoiners in El Salvador, Iyah gets convincingly orange-pilled live on air, discovering Bitcoin as the ultimate tool for agency, sound money, and escaping centralized control. If you're stacking sats while questioning the system, this conversation bridges music, health freedom, and Bitcoin sovereignty in a powerful white pill for low-time-preference living. Check out her latest single Good Citizen and stay tuned for the upcoming album!
