He would say that though, wouldn't he? Classic Illuminati move.
Some quotes from his essay for Paper magazine. "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."
Whilst that might seem like a reasonable argument, you can't argue with the evidence...
Defo Illuminati. Nice try, Kanye.
