Kanye West opens up on Illuminati and success

Published

It is interesting to know that the Illuminati myth has been addressed by no other person but one of the top stars caught in the middle of the stories making rounds, Kanye West.

Now, budding artistes have to understand that it is purely hard work and talents that gets one to the top of the charts and not joining a fathom cult like Illuminati. He made a lengthy write-up for an American magazine, PAPER, and he got to pour out his heart on matters from Illuminati to racism, below is an excerpt:

“I heard a comment — a joke — about the Tidal press conference being an Illuminati moment. If there was actually an Illuminati, it would be more like the energy companies. Not celebrities that gave their life to music and who are pinpointed as decoys for people who really run the world. 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. Madonna is in her 50s and gave everything she had to go up on an award show and get choked by her cape. She’s judged for who she adopts. F**k all of this sensationalism. We gave you our lives. We gave you our hearts. We gave you our opinions!.”
