Five People Who Sold Their Souls To The Devil (Allegedly)
July 12, 2016
Jay-Z
In recent years, Satan seems to has moved beyond heavy metal musicians. Pop star Katy Perry is said to have made the ultimate unholy bargain, and so has rapper Jay-Z. While Perry seems to have been joking around with a journalist, Hova’s bargain with the Forces of Darkness is more interesting. Rumors that began more than a decade ago say that Jay-Z pledged his allegiance to The Illuminati. In exchange for his soul, the evil secret society supposedly provided Jay-Z with his stratospheric success, as well as access to world leaders like Barack Obama. The whispers, tweets and blog-posts are completely racist, of course, with the unspoken subtext being that a black man couldn’t possibly become as successful as Jay-Z without the help of a shady secret society and the devil. But the rapper’s reaction to the stories is interesting: In interviews, Jay-Z has pointed out that the members of the global elite wouldn’t even let him in their country clubs, so why would they let him into the elite leadership of the New World Order?
But it’s not as simple as that… because Jay-Z has written songs specifically about Lucifer. He sprinkles his videos with overt references to the occult, including wearing clothing with the Satanic catchphrase “Do What Thou Wilt,” and throwing up a hand sign said to reference the Illuminati. He sells clothing emblazoned with esoteric symbolism like pentagrams and the all-seeing-eye of Horus.
So is Jay-Z really a member of the Illuminati, or is making money by turning racism back on itself, using esoteric symbolism to add a dark spiritual gravitas to his music? Who knows, but either way, you should listen to “Lucifer” right now because it rules.
Bob Dylan
While the scratchy-voiced singer is well known for going through a “Christian phase” in the late 1970s and releasing the worst records of his long career, he also may have sold his soul to Satan.
Did Dylan travel to Robert Johnson’s legendary crossroads in the early 1960s and trade his soul in exchange for becoming the greatest songwriter of his generation? Who can say, but some think the following exchange from a 2009 episode of 60 MINUTES is evidence of Dylan’s demonic pact:
Ed Bradley: Why do you still do it? Why are you still out here?
Dylan: It goes back to that destiny thing. I made a bargain with it a long time ago, and I’m holding up my end.
Bradley: What was your bargain?
Dylan: To get where I am now.
Bradley: Should I ask whom you made the bargain with?
Dylan: With the chief commander.
Bradley: On this earth?
Dylan: (laughing) On this earth and the world we can’t see.”
It bears mentioning that Dylan looks a lot like Vincent Price now, which I assume was part of the deal.
