Founded by German philosopher and law professor Johann Adam Weishaupt, the secret society was created in 1776 with Enlightenment elements at its core. Weishaupt’s goal was to organize the elites and wealthy as the Bavarian Illuminati and educate them so they could influence political decisions. See how some rappers have gravitated toward the idea of the group in their music, interviews and on social media while other artists have denied their involvement. #Illuminati #JayZ #LilWayne #SexyyRed Beat for video produced by Full Circle.
