Khaligraph Jones has stoked yet more controversy with his new ‘Rider’ hit, which has disturbing images that have reignited the illuminati debate often associated with rappers;
Hip-hop has had a long-standing fascination with the Illuminati legend, a secret society said to have been founded in the late 1700s and has been referenced in tracks by Jay Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and even pop artistes like Madonna and Beyoncé.
Today, the Illuminati theory remains as relevant as ever, often used as a way to justify the unexpected success of artistes who are accused of being puppets of this secretive web of unidentified figureheads. There’s endless tomes of books, podcasts, and blogs written about the Illuminati’s use of media and entertainment to carry out its agenda, and there are numerous videos about the Illuminati with millions of views.
