Jay Z Responds to Illuminati Claims, Beanie Sigel [Video Included]

50 cent

“I think I need to remind people I'm from Marcy Projects. You can't get into those prestigious clubs. I can't even get into the golf club in Palm Springs.”

The date is now January 14.  Since the New Year came in and Jay Z decided to bring it in with the music video for “On To The Next One”, it has been two weeks of speculation and conspiracy theory calling Jay Z a Freemason and being part of the Illuminati and the New World Order.

Coverage has become ridiculous and whether it's people reading too far into Jay and everything he does or the rapper becoming more blatant with his religious allegiance, things have spun out of control at this point.

Usually known to just allow things slide, Jay once again addressed the claims and shuts them down immediately once he hit the radio on the Ed Lover Show.

Hov actually credits the allegations to the price of fame and what happens as success rises and money continues to accumulate.

"You know when people get a lot of money, they start getting those rumors like Tom Cruise and Will Smith. That's ridiculous; that's crazy to me.”


While keeping things short and sweet on that, Jigga also speaks on his reaction to Beanie Sigel and the verbal attacks thrown at him.  At the end of the day, he feels everyone is using him as a means to obtain more exposure and attention from the masses.

"Rap music is competitive by nature, so nothing surprises me anymore.  I can honestly say that one was a shocker. When you're cut from a certain cloth, there are things that are off limits. If you cross that line, it puts you in a different box. It comes from the same thing. I think people are running out of ideas and it's all marketing at this point. In the beginning it was competition. It was just like, 'Lets see who's better. Let's go to the square and see who's better.' It's all just marketing now. That's their whole marketing plan—Jiggaman.”


It's lonely when you're the only one at the top and the New Year has started off as rocky as the preceding year ended for Jay.  Something's got to give.

    For one, he may be a freemason, and I promise you, it is NOT a religion. It doesn't offer a path to salvation. It's a charitable organization and people ridicule strictly out of ignorance. The illuminati hadn't existed in a few hundred years. There are much worse organizations to worry about. Go to college, study history and quit worrying about Jay-Z.

    \Jay said he believes in one God & doesn't believe in hell. That is a Jehovah's witness belief. I wonder if that clashes with Beyonce's belief. Isn't she methodist?

    In my opinion, from listening to some of Jay Z's raps, he calls him self Hova because he is trying to say he is a rap god. I think he actually said it in one of his songs, but I can't remember which one exactly. I think people may need to pull their panties out their butts on this one. He called himself Jay Hova not Jehovah. I guess we should calling all of the people who have the name Jesus blasphemers too.

  • huh?

    I believe Jay. People are gonna believe what they want in the end even if he's addressed all these illuminati rumours on Free Mason...there are people our here that still won't believe him?? Strange and sad.

  • huh?

    By the way, contrary to anyone's beliefs, including Jay's about not believing in hell, well...there IS a Heaven and a Hell...and I've experienced both in my lifetime (I'm christian now).

    People fear and hate what they don't understand. It has been like that since the beginning of time. The Freemasons are NOT a religion, and they DO NOT worship the devil. Just because you are not a part of something or don't understand it doesn't mean that they worship the devil. The devil has many forms and names, and one of them is IGNORANCE.

  • Serious

    I feel Jay on this. If the man say he's not a devil worshipper then he just not. He could talk about selling drugs in his past then turn around and lie about being a free mason. The man couldnt keep his wedding to his wife a secret but he could keep that hidden. Need visual proof..

    Forgot to say that on a Antichrist tip hahaha even the Antichrist might not know who he is until the day comes. remember the illuminati does mind control, plz dont forget that.

  • realsense

    The bible foretold all these, illuminati, devil-worship, love of money unbelieve etc. They are all signs of the end and very accurate.
