New conspiracy theories point to the heavy influence of the Illuminati over the music industry - specifically of the Hip-hop genre. Artists such as Jay-Z and Kanye West have been accused of involvement with the secret society. An murder suspect also claimed that he was possessed by Jay-Z at the time the crime was committed.
According to an article on The Daily Beast, Hip-hop's roots are allegedly heavily influenced by the Illuminati. It all began with the rise and fall and eventual return of the secret society, beginning with its creation in Bavaria in 1776. As a then-young and relatively unknown group, its main goal was to reshape society into a more egalitarian and less religious community of liberal-minded individuals - thus its name "the enlightened ones".
Although the Illuminati's members grew by the numbers, it caught the attention of the Bavarian government which eventually executed a ban against the group. Conspiracy theorists suggest that because the organization went into hiding, it shrewdly grew more powerful to the point of infiltrating major governments and its authorities in order to promote and eventually establish a "New World Order". The control of Hip-Hop was apparently one of their strategies.
Several mid-90s and modern day Hip-Hop artists are alleged to be part or puppets rather of the highly elusive Illuminati. Big names such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce and LL Cool J are all attached to the secret society in one way or another.
According to Breitbart, West publicly denounced his involvement with the Illuminati saying, "I'm tired of people pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati. That's ridiculous. We don't run anything; we're celebrities. We're the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a contract."
Meanwhile, a Hawaiian man accused with murder claimed that he was possessed by Jay-Z at the time of the crime. According to Huffington Post, 39-year old suspect Jason Russell Jump called himself "Son of Man" and complained of stomach pains caused by the Illuminati. A source said, "He would say that celebrities are eating away at his stomach."
Jump was accused of bludgeoning a 54-year old man to death in December 2012. Jump pinned the crime against Jay-Z telling authorities to "put Jay Z in prison for the murder of James Johns and put other Illuminati who've been attacking [Jump] in prison, too."
Throughout the years, many A-listers, high-profile celebrities, government leaders and business tycoons have been accused of having strong ties with the Illuminati thus gaining fame, fortune and power. The Illuminati are allegedly plotting the takeover of government, nations and even mainstream media to promote and establish their authority and influence over all of humanity.
