Fat Joe Puts An End To Illuminati Rumors

by

Hip-hop icon Fat Joe is not letting is hard work go unnoticed. He took to Instagram live on Saturday (Oct. 21) to tell the world that everything he has, he worked for it. During the live, he candidly addressed the speculations surrounding his success and how he obtained it. Furthermore, he provided insights into his journey in the music industry. In the Instagram Live session, often referred to as Joey Crack by his fans, he addressed the prevalent misconceptions surrounding his achievements and celebrity status. Specifically, he shut down any link to the illuminati. Instead, he emphasized the significance of hard work and dedication in his life’s story.

“Some people start makin’ excuses and sayin’, ‘Yoo, they livin’ like that ’cause they did this, they Illuminati, they signed with a cult, they did this,’” Fat Joe began. He expressed his frustration at the tendency of some to attribute success to conspiracy theories or secret societies. Instead, he argued that his path to success was paved by relentless effort and a strong work ethic. In a world where the music industry can often be shrouded in mystery and intrigue, rumors of artists’ involvement in organizations such as the illuminati have persisted. Fat Joe, however, set the record straight, declaring that he has never crossed paths with the Illuminati or any other similar group.

Fat Joe Doesn’t Want His Hard Work To Go Unnoticed

“I’ve met everybody. I’ve never met the Illuminati,” Fat Joe continued to declare. “So now what my theory is is you got people who’re frustrated with seeing other people being successful, and they make up this thing called Illuminati. “‘Cause you gotta be part of some shit because you rich, you gotta be part of some shit ’cause you got famous, you gotta be part of some sh*t because ‘there’s no way, I’ve tried everything.’”

The theories surrounding illuminati talk are even prevalent among other celebrities. In fact, earlier this month, Kanye West labeled Cardi B an illuminati plant according to a resurfaced clip. “Cardi B is a plant…she don’t write her raps. They put her there to try replace Nicki Minaj purposely she thinks it’s a blessing from the universe, it ain’t no f*cking blessing.” Let us know your thoughts on HNHH.

What Did Kanye West Say About Cardi B?

Did you know that Cardi B is an Illuminati plant?

At least, that’s what Kanye West seemed to think in leaked video clip that has gone viral on Twitter (which I, personally, am never going to call “X”). In the clip, Kanye says, Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati… She doesn’t write her raps. She’s just there to sound as ignorant as possible. She’s literally replaced Nicki Minaj purposely… She thinks it’s a blessing from the universe, it ain’t no f*cking blessing.”

Now, it’s important to take all this with a grain of salt. Kanye’s hair and clothing in the video suggest that it was shot sometime in 2018, when he was in the middle of his “bipolar is my superpower,” communing-with-nature-in-Wyoming era. You may recall that a documentary was being shot around that time and he also had some not-so-nice things to say to his onetime collaborator Chance The Rapper. He’s also known being somewhat… let’s just say “erratic” — both before this clip and more recently.

Likewise, since the video was shot, Kanye has worked with Cardi B (and Lil Durk) on her 2022 single “Hot Sh*t.” Cardi herself reminded followers that ‘Ye has also been plenty complimentary of her mic skills as well, posting a clip from Kanye’s 2022 interview with Jason Lee of Hollywood Unlocked in which he contradicts the above statements. “I’ve always believed in her since she was on Love & Hip-Hop: New York,” he said.

Is it “Oochie Wally” or is “One Mic,” Kanye?

Fans had mixed responses to the post. One wrote: “What’s more believable? A behind the doors conversation or an interview with ur friend who just coerced him to do a collab with u?” Another replied: “Oh she’s in denial.”

Jay-Z Illuminati Rumors Denied By Memphis Bleek

by

On the latest episode of Drink Champs, N.O.R.E., DJ EFN, and the rest of the crew welcomed Memphis Bleek. The Roc-A-Fella OG told a lot of wild stories and had everyone in chuckle mode for most of their conversation, which was very entertaining to see. For example, he explained how hard it was to get tickets for Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE tour despite being one of Jay-Z’s protégés. Speaking of Hov, his signee also addressed conspiracies and claims about his mentor being in the Illuminati. Rumors like that will always come for artists when they’re big enough, but the 45-year-old wasted no time in shutting it all down comically.

“That killed me with the Hov drunk they Illuminati,” Memphis Bleek recalled. “Why the f**k I ain’t drink then? Huh? I just went to the party and let everybody get Illuminati wasted and I said, ‘Yo, I’m cool. Tonight’s the night I’m on my N.O.R.E. s**t, 36 hours clean. My birthday’s coming.’ F**k outta here. I’d been in there, vampire from Brooklyn, n***a. You think Eddie had it? Me, n***a. F**k outta here with that. It’s called the Illumi-grinding, n***a.”

“It’s Called Illumi-Grinding”

Elsewhere in their conversation, the Brooklyn MC also spoke on a funny story concerning Michael Jackson’s surprise Summer Jam performance in 2001. “It was ill, the Mike situation,” Memphis Bleek shared. “Rest in peace to the GOAT of the GOATs. Mike came through, right? Listen, if you wasn’t with Hov, you had to turn around and face the wall. His security guards came in before he came in. They like this: ‘Everybody who don’t got the Jay-Z pass.’ Like, I’m with the family. You had to have that pass.

“They was making n***as face the wall like it was the pat-down on the block,” he continued. “Everybody, because Mike didn’t want eye-to-eye contact. Nobody look him in his eyes. Me, I gotta see Mike. So I’m looking at everyone in the hallway facing the wall like, ‘These n***as is bugging.’” For more news and the latest updates on Memphis Bleek and Jay-Z, log back into HNHH.

607 Unc Sacrificed Son To Escape The Illuminati, The St. Louis Rapper Claims

by

Illuminati conspiracies are quite common among artists and fans alike, whether we’re talking about superstars or relative unknowns. Moreover, today’s case involves a prominent rapper in his city’s local scene: 607 Unc. The St. Louis, Missouri MC recently sat down for an interview with Off The Porch on Tuesday (September 19) and went through plenty of odd claims. For example, he said that he wrote Nelly’s smash 2000 hit “Country Grammar,” the timeline of which is questionable to say the least. However, his most bombastic statement was that he is the first person to escape the Illuminati.

“I’m the first person to leave,” 607 Unc remarked. “I made the ultimate sacrifice and I got out the Illuminati. I’m the first person that can speak about it. Yeah, I sacrificed my son.” With a stack of cash in his hand, the spitter said that he was “deada** serious” and described himself as “half Illuminati and half street.” Of course, it’s difficult to tell whether this is a joke, a clout chase, a confession, a fantasy, or something in between. Either way, it’s certainly one way to put yourself out there as an artist.

607 Unc’s Bizarre Interview

What might be the funniest part of this whole thing is that 607 Unc ditched the interview just minutes after his claims. Maybe he’s afraid that the secret society will be quick to silence him for his confessions. However, other artists simply embrace the conspiracy theories formed around their Illuminati involvement, like Doja Cat. For her new Scarlet merch, various of her designs referenced her alleged ties and other controversies that she got into with her fans. If you can’t beat them, join them, as they say, or at least make some money off of the memes.

Meanwhile, it feels like there’s been an uptick in people making these connections, as well as demonic ones, when it comes to artists. Maybe people are just looking for something vague to handle intense celebrity visibility. On the other hand, maybe famous people have gotten to the point where they really do feel like a new world order. Regardless, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on 607 Unc… and the Illuminati, we suppose.

Doja Cat’s “Scarlet” Merch Comedically Addresses “Kittenz” & Illuminati Controversies

by

The controversies that Doja Cat has been caught up in so far in 2023 would be enough to drive some pop stars batty. Thankfully, the California native has a great sense of humour. This has allowed her to brush off unsolicited advice and profit from critics. On her new Scarlet album, Doja addresses some of the biggest headlines surrounding her name this year, such as her relationship with embattled comedian J. Cyrus. We know little about their romance behind closed doors. Still, the fashionista did hint at wedding bells being in her future on several songs.

Now that the 17-track LP is available for streaming, Doja has revealed what its accompanying merch line looks like. On Friday (September 22) afternoon, she hopped on Instagram to unveil a photo dump with some undeniably comedic pieces. “Wear my merch to increase power and gain XP or don’t & be a little b**ch,” she wrote in the caption. “[Your] choice lol.”

Doja Cat Continues to Troll Fans with Scarlet Merch

“Recovering Doja Cat Fan” is written across the front of one of the Planet Her hitmaker’s shirts. It comes in both white and pink colorways. Another graphic tee shows a glamorous photo of Doja beside a demon which reads, “Welcome to Hollywood, Beware of Skin Walkers,” along with other warnings. Of course, she couldn’t help but address those rumours regarding her involvement with a certain group by making an “Illuminaughty” tee too, not to mention her pink and white tank top that brushes off the “Kittenz” beef that unfolded between Doja and listeners on Twitter earlier this summer.

Doja Cat fans are no strangers to her trolling antics. However, when she shared her “Balut” single ahead of Scarlet‘s arrival, some genuinely felt disrespected by her. Rather than thoroughly researching the Filipino street food she named her song after, the 27-year-old incorrectly told her social media followers that the dish is a bird which is eaten while still alive. Read what critics had to say to Doja at the link below, and let us know if you’ll be purchasing any of her merch in the comments.

Soulja Boy Blasts Accusations That He’s In The Illuminati

by

Soulja Boy has one of the most simultaneously controversial and influential careers in hip-hop history. While many thought little of him when he burst onto the scene, his Internet presence and new approach to rap, which many others also pioneered, paved the way for generations to come. In fact, the Chicago-born and Atlanta-raised MC recently addressed initial theories of his rise on Instagram Live. Moreover, he spoke on how people thought he was part of the Illuminati, and why his dedication to God makes him a target for the media.

“When I first got in the rap game, a lot of people was like, ‘Soulja Boy an Illuminati,’” he expressed. “‘Soulja Boy joined the Illuminati, that’s how he got his money. That’s how he got famous, that’s how he got rich.’ But guess what? All I ever did was pray to God and stayed in the studio and stayed down until I made it, until I got on. They always gon’ try to discredit you for anything you do.

“So first they said I was an Illuminati,” Soulja Boy continued. “Then they said a whole bunch of bulls**t. All you gotta do is believe in God and stay down, bruh, nothing can f**k with you. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, n***a. But, when you really believe in God, you gon’ go through s**t. You gon’ see the media lying on you, you gon’ see n***as you don’t know beefing with you out of nowhere, hating on you. You go through more s**t when you f***in’ with God.

“If I was like a devil a** artist that worship the devil and s**t, I’d be straight,” the 33-year-old concluded. “It wouldn’t be no blogs lying on my name, it wouldn’t be no rappers beefing with me, you know what I’m saying? But since I f**k with God, I’ma go through more s**t than the average person. You gon’ see the media lying on my name. That’s the evil side right there, attacking me, ’cause they know I’m independent.” For more news and the latest updates on Soulja Boy, come back to HNHH.

Doja Cat Confirms Illuminati Membership While Flexing Her Graphic Design Skills On IG

by

The harder one attempts to decipher Doja Cat’s Instagram account, the less sense it makes, which is why you’re better off assuming the “Say So” singer is nearly always trolling. For several months now, she’s been faced with accusations of selling her soul to join the Illuminati, especially now that her music has taken a devilish turn in nature. Doja does seem to have become annoyed by the discourse on more than one occasion, but in her usual fashion, she’s been playing the latest gossip about her off like a pro.

On Saturday (August 12), the Grammy Award winner showed off her budding graphic design skills by putting together a unique collage. The mostly pink image shows a distorted Doja sitting on the side of a bed, her arms thrown up in the air. Beside her sits a pink sparkly Care Bare, a stream of falling money, and a shooting star. “ILLUMINATITS,” “I think my cat is Illuminati,” and “I joined the Illuminati” all flash across the screen in obnoxious fonts as well.

“It’s true 💅🏽,” the embattled entertainer further noted in her caption, sarcastically confirming the IlluminaTEA. The response to that post has been varied, but Doja doesn’t seem too bothered by what others have to say. Instead, she’s been busy photoshopping images of her booty cheeks over cheese poptarts.

“I j be talkin my shi 🤪,” she captioned that post. It was followed shortly after by some interesting bikini snaps, laid out on a Hello Kitty background in the same way as the others. “Hating me won’t make you pretty,” is one of the messages the multi-talent chose to share along with her thirst traps.

Ice Cube Says The Illuminati “Probably” Exists

by

Ice Cube says that the Illuminati “probably” exists. He discussed the infamous secret society during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Tuesday. Despite the claim, he admits he hasn’t met anyone from the Illuminati and would be surprised if he did. He also says he doesn’t actually know anything about the group as he’s not a part of it.

“I don’t know one, none of them, none of them tell me ‘Hey, I’m Illuminati,” Ice Cube said. “I don’t participate in none of that, so, I don’t know about it. Seem like its there, but who knows?”

Fans were excited to hear Cube speak candidly on the topic on social media. In the comments section of the interview on YouTube, one wrote: “I love that Ice Cube is telling the truth about the industry. I see more and more artist and actors doing this!” Another commented: “He’s never given himself to any secret society for money. He’s been true to himself and I can get down with that. I’ve been a fan since ‘88.”

While it wasn’t aimed specifically at the Illuminati, Cube did call out “gatekeepers” for blocking the growth of his BIG3 basketball league on Twitter, last month. In the rant, he threatened to expose those working against him. Cube also discussed the state of the BIG3 during his Breakfast Club appearance. Check out the interview in full below.

Ice Cube Speaks With “The Breakfast Club”

Cube is far from the first rapper to speak about the Illuminati. In March, Jay Electronica mentioned having met members of the Illuminati on Twitter. “Ps, The Illuminati? I met em,” he wrote during a rant on the site. “They ain’t all that. Ask em about me.”
