9 Insane Conspiracy Theories About The Illuminati And The Music Industry

8. Ke$ha Was Forced By The Illuminati Against Her Will To Release Die Young

When it first released in 2012, Ke$ha's Die Young was hugely successful, but it also spurred a huge amount of controversy. For a start, it was pulled from many radio stations in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, as the repeated proclamation €œwe're gonna die young€ was deemed distasteful and inappropriate. But that's far from the most curious bit. The music video for the song sees Ke$ha playing the role of a cult leader, engaging in various sexual activities. Throughout the video there is a massive amount of occult imagery including the all-seeing eye, inverted crosses, pentagrams and pyramids. This, of course, prompted accusations of the song being a direct product of the Illuminati, and what's interesting is that Ke$ha responded to the song's criticism, claiming that she was €œforced€ to sing it. What this truly means is anybody's guess, but many took it as confirmation of shadier goings on.
