The Illuminati: A Brief History
Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati in 1776. He was a professor in Bavaria, Germany. The society wanted to promote Enlightenment ideals like reason, freedom, and equality. They also wanted to oppose the influence of the Catholic Church and European monarchies. The society had a hierarchy with different levels of initiation and knowledge. They also had the Eye of Providence symbol, often shown as an eye in a triangle.
The Bavarian government outlawed the Illuminati in 1785. They arrested, exiled, or executed many members. Some people think the society ended then, but conspiracy theorists say it survived. They say it kept operating secretly and infiltrated institutions. They also say it influenced world events. The Illuminati’s alleged goals include making a new world order, controlling the media and economy, and manipulating people through symbols and rituals.
Kid Cudi and the Dress Controversy
Kid Cudi performed two songs on Saturday Night Live: “Tequila Shots” and “Sad People”. During the latter song, he wore a floral dress that resembled the one worn by Kurt Cobain, the late lead singer of Nirvana, during a photo shoot in 1993. Kid Cudi later explained on Twitter that his dress was a tribute to Cobain, who died by suicide on April 5, 1994, and that he also wanted to show love to his fans who felt outcast and misunderstood.
However, some of his fans and critics did not buy his explanation and accused him of participating in an “Illuminati humiliation ritual.” They argued that his dress was a symbol of emasculation and submission to the Illuminati and that he was forced to wear it as a way of mocking him and his fans. They also pointed out other symbols and references that they believed were connected to the Illuminati, such as the number 33, the checkerboard pattern, and the butterfly effect.
Fact or Fiction?
Some may think Kid Cudi’s dress choice is strange or controversial, but it’s important to separate personal opinions from facts. There is no proof that Kid Cudi is part of the Illuminati or that he took part in any secret society rituals. He wore the outfit to express himself personally and artistically and explained and defended it in his own words. Many of his fans and famous friends like Timothée Chalamet, Pete Davidson, and Pharrell Williams supported and praised him.
