9. Jay-Z Is A Member Of The Illuminati
When it comes to music-based Illuminati conspiracy theories, this is easily one of the most famous. The theory goes that hip-hop musician Jay-Z is a massive part of the shady organisation, using his power and contacts to make or break other musicians. It's no secret that Jay-Z has played a massive part in many musical successes, owing largely to the fact he used to be president of Def Jam Recordings and is one of the co-founders of Roc-A-Fella Records. An endorsement from Jay-Z is enough to change a musician's life. Proof of Jay-Z's association with the Illuminati includes his signature diamond cutter hand gesture which appears to form a pyramid shape (which in turn resembles the Illuminati's All-Seeing Eye) and the crazy amount of symbolism in his 2009 music video for On To The Next One. There's also the matter of a photo that was unearthed from 1939, which depicts a man bearing a striking resemblance to the musician. This has led several theorists to postulate that Jay-Z has been granted time travelling abilities by the organization, because, you know, that makes sense.
