These celebrities have had a tremendous amount of influence and power, but not without many questioning their rise to fame. Some believe there are clues and symbols throughout their music, album art, performances, and even attire that point to them being a part of a modern-day secret society known as the Illuminati, with ancient roots, believed to consist of powerful, elite individuals with a mission to control the world and create a New World Order.
It is also believed that members have to make a blood sacrifice to gain fame and reach a higher rank, and the lives of those who fail to comply end in fatal deaths. While this group includes politicians and financial moguls, it is thought to be especially influential in the entertainment industry because of the power that music has to be delivered to the masses. You may have seen them using certain symbols to identify each other, including the triangle, which represents the Devil’s all-seeing-eye, goat heads and unicorns.
These subtle symbols may not look like much to the average person but are believed to be sacred to the members involved and, if commonly digested, have great power over the people who are exposed to them. Here are eight celebrities that are commonly believed to be in the Illuminati.
Jay-Z
When people think of the modern-day Illuminati, Jay Z is one of the most commonly recognized figures by Illuminati conspiracy theorists. Many believe the Roc-A-Fella records dynasty sign he flashes at his concerts is actually a pyramid, representing the all-seeing eye. He is also known to include goat heads and other satanic symbols in his performances and music videos.
Beyoncé
If Jay Z is a part of the Illuminati, it may come as no surprise that his wife, pop mogul Beyoncé, would also be a part of the secret society. The singer modeled a dress that featured a goat skull in her photoshoot for “I Am Sasha Fierce” and is believed to have sparked the major power outage during the 2013 Super Bowl Half Time Show after throwing up the triangle in the widely watched performance. Coincidence? Many Illuminati conspiracy theorists think otherwise.
Kanye West
When hip-hop mogul Kanye West released “Jesus Walks,” many Illuminati conspiracy theorists believed he had not yet been inducted into the secret society but was soon after. After that album, he landed the front cover of Rolling Stone magazine, with his infamous embodiment of a crucified Christ-like figure as the cover image, which many read as a mockery of Jesus Christ, which many believe he has done throughout his musical career. In addition, as a former Roc-A-Fella records artist, he has fed into the Illuminati rumors of wearing a Horus necklace, including occult imagery in his music videos and throwing up the triangle in concerts.
Michael Jackson
Many Illuminati conspiracy theorists believed that pop icon Michael Jackson was a member of the Illuminati, but it wasn’t until he started speaking out against them and their constant need to control the music industry that his life began to fall apart. He died tragically just days before his planned comeback concerts. His sister, La Toya Jackson, said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson said “they” were trying to kill him. In his final days, he spoke about there being a conspiracy to defame him.
Lady Gaga
Pop icon Lady Gaga is recognized for her bizarre outfits and stage sets. Some believe she is the queen of the modern-day Illuminati with her blatant Illuminati symbolism, featuring goat heads, triangles and unicorns in her music videos and music performances. Given that she often embraces these symbols in her everyday life, the symbols look so subtle that they appear normal to the everyday mind. This is believed to be an active attempt at subtle mind control.
Rihanna
Illuminati conspiracy theorists recognize pop star Rihanna as “The Illuminati Princess,” pushing the Satanic agenda by actively promoting satanic and occult ideas and imagery in her music and videos since her musical career took off with ‘Good Girl Gone Bad.’ As a protégé of Jay Z, it may not be surprising that people would see an even bigger connection with the Illuminati, given she didn’t get much traction until she switched her look up and began embracing these symbols.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears started to re-emerge on the pop culture radar after the end of her public conservatorship case, but in the early 2000s, there was no pop star bigger than Britney, and she had her hands in film, music, and clothing industries on top of several other industries. However, after a public mental breakdown in 2007, it’s unknown whether she would still be considered a member of the Illuminati or not. Some conspiracy theorists think that the organization might’ve been behind her professional and personal breakdown. Some believe she’s part of the organization due to her peculiar behavior online.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates is responsible for some of the most revolutionary technological innovations in the world, but these new technology forms have also made it easier to track and monitor people. Furthermore, he’s one of the most powerful and richest men in the world, as Microsoft isn’t merely a computer company anymore and has branched off into other fields.
There’s a lot of joking about which celebrities are in the Illuminati due to their success, wealth, and influence in the world. While some celebrities on this list don’t really make any sense, other possible members are quite believable.
