In the glamorous world of showbiz, where fame and fortune often go hand in hand, whispers of the Illuminati have become a recurring theme.
The notion that some of Kenya’s biggest celebrities are part of this secretive, all-powerful society has sparked endless debates, fueled by cryptic social media posts, flashy lifestyles, and the occasional controversy.
From musicians to actors, several high-profile figures have been accused of being part of the Illuminati, often based on their rapid rise to fame, lavish lifestyles, or symbolic gestures in their work.
One of the most talked-about figures in this debate is celebrated Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones. Known for his lyrical prowess and larger-than-life persona, Khaligraph has repeatedly faced accusations of having ties to the Illuminati.
This talk was rife a while back when he released the video for ‘Rider’ alongside Petra. In the video, Khali is seen 'slashing a man to death then feasting on his raw kidneys.
Earlier on before this act, he pulled a stunt at a concert where he made a strange stage entrance in a coffin.
However, the rapper has dismissed the claims, explaining that he only uses symbolism and imagery to create intrigue in his work.
While speculation surrounding Khaligraph remains just that, speculation, other artists have come forward with firsthand accounts of alleged encounters with secret societies.
In 2019, gospel-turned-secular singer Nexxie made shocking claims that the Illuminati had attempted to recruit him after the release of one of his singles. According to him, he was approached with lucrative offers that included a luxurious car, a house, and guaranteed fame.
What made the offer even more unsettling, he claimed, was that the recruiters assured him there would be no bloodshed or human sacrifices, just a simple agreement that would supposedly change his life forever.
Reflecting on the experience, Nexxie remains firm in his decision to reject the offer. "I received such offers, but I immediately exposed them. I can never sell my soul for any amount of fame or money," he said.
When asked whether he believes the music industry is controlled by secret societies, he responded, "Every industry is. These societies are basically cartels in other words."
Despite his bold stance, Nexxie revealed a heartbreaking aftermath of speaking out. "What breaks my heart is that, even after exposing it, I received so many inboxes from young Kenyans asking me to connect them with the Illuminati. They were willing to do anything for money."
