Music is an art form that has been there since time immemorial. The power it holds to the human brain like reducing anxiety and releasing oxytocin and dopamine is a key element to why it’s a universal art.
Aside from that, it’s also spiritually used by those who practice new age religion to do things like manifesting.

The music industry has been rumored to be a space where artists involve occult practices to help boost their music careers and gain fame. It is not until the early 2000s that artists started getting accused publicly of being part of occult groups. Other artists have speculated their being part of the occult groups.
The Illuminati is one of the secret societies that many artists have been linked to. It uses a lot of pseudonyms one of them being the all-seeing eye. The all-seeing eye is seen on the US dollar, masonic buildings, and some church buildings. The Illuminati is said to rule the world.

Artists like Rihanna, Cardi B, Shakira, Billy Ellish, Beyoncé, Lil Nas X, Sam Smith, Travis Scott, The Weekend, Wizkid, and Diamond Platinumz are some of the many artists accused of being in an occult specifically the Illuminati. Their music videos are the main cause of suspicion.
In their videos, the artist uses video graphics, dances, and setting that suggest association with occult groups like making the all-seeing eye symbol and having an image of a goat with horns that are associated with demonic practices.
Theories have been made up of how the artists have subliminally and low-key admitted to their association with occult groups. Like when they mention names of demonic beings in their song or when someone decides to play their song backward.
Ye has been on the spot for calling out other celebrities for not supporting him because of their loyalty to the industry which is ‘demonic’ as he puts it. Major recording labels like Universal have been accused of being occults in that they offer desperate up-and-coming musicians with fame and money in exchange for their souls.
Is it true though? Are artists really involved in demonic practices to boost their careers? Well Cardi B has been on record that her songs activate demons in her that she thought she had killed.
