Kanye West's absence has been sparking more claims.
West is yet to be found after Daily Loud first reported in December that the rapper's former business manager, Thomas St. John, declared him missing. He said he could not find him anywhere to serve him with legal documents following a breach of contract.
As the buzz continues, Newsweek revealed that a recent hair-raising theory suggests that Illuminati might be behind the act. West previously dropped damaging statements against the secret society.
In 2010, the 45-year-old rapper posted since-deleted tweets in which he joked that the secret society "controls" major organizations in the world. He also accused it of "manipulating finances and dictating policy to usher in 'the new world order'."
"I've got question about 'the illuminati' ... what is it exactly ??? ... and why do people think pop stars have a membership???!!! LOL," he said. "Is illuminati and devil worshipping like the same thing ... do they have a social network that celebs can sign up for?"
The event happened again in 2015 when he wrote his cover story for Paper Magazine. He said that the launch of Tidal, Jay-Z's subscription-based streaming service, looked like an "Illuminati moment."
But before the Illuminati speculations emerged, West was also embroiled in damming issues after he continuously dropped antisemitic messages.
Apart from the Illuminati-related claims, there were also fans who assumed him dead. HITC, on the other hand, debunked the claims.
