We don’t know if Kanye West is referring to the Illuminati in his latest rant that began Friday night. Note that The Root raised the question. But the fact that he spoke about his own colleages — some of them already associated with the Illuminati — suggests that this is the secret society Kanye is ranting about.

Last night West began calling out people by name who he says are currently “under control” by unnamed powers. “They can’t control me, you know what I’m saying,” West begins. “They can control Shaq, they can control Charles Barkley, they can control LeBron James.

“They can control Jay-Z and Beyonce,” West said. “But they can’t control me. Ain’t no name I won’t name. It’s up.”

It got worse, when West began speaking on Hollywood “sacrifices” — including the death of his mother Donda West.
