Mephistopheles

Numerous accounts of devil worshipping pop culture icons fill the headlines of online tabloids. Only a few exposes themselves as actual devil worshippers but all accounts fall under two common myths of the struggling artists selling their souls. These two myths include the infamous crossroads where the Devil waits to promise fame for ownership of one’s soul for eternity or the myth of Mephistopheles, a demon working for the devil, who appears and offers promises with the demon’s flare. Kanye West announced he sold his soul in October of 2002, but he is not alone. The list of artists who have either stopped at the crossroads or spoken to Mephistopheles include Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga. A recent addition to the list is the classic Bob Dylan who admitted to selling his soul a few days ago.
