Rap-Up.com || Kanye West, Nicki Minaj to Star in ‘Rap Illuminati’ Episode of ‘Cleveland Show’

The rap Illuminati is taking over television sets this fall on “The Cleveland Show.” Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are among the hip-hop superstars who will lend their voices to the animated series.

West, who previously appeared on the show as rapper Kenny West, joins Minaj, will.i.am, Bruno Mars, and The Roots’ drummer ?uestlove in an episode about the secret society. Many of them will be playing themselves and contributing original music.

“We have a rap Illuminati episode that’s going to be happening,” revealed Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland on the show. “We have an episode where Kanye and will.i.am, playing himself, and Nicki Minaj, playing herself, and Bruno Mars, playing himself, and ?uestlove—they’re all part of the rap Illuminati, the secret group that controls pop culture.”

Executive producer Rich Appel added, “Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him down. We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and will and Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great.”

No air date has been announced for the episode, but the third season of “The Cleveland Show” kicks off September 25 on Fox.

Cant wait 2 see this episode. Hopefully this will really show the dumb asses in the world today that this illuminati bs is just that, bs. If 4lks would actually do their research, u would know illuminati started with egyptians nd they may not believe in our God but they sholl as heck dont believe in the Devil. If there is a Devil then there is a God u DA’s! #smh @ society

Ooo and that proves that Ye, Nicki, Rihanna, etc. arent a part of the illuminati they believe nd thank OUR God. Illuminati thank their own Gods

This Illuminati stuff is interesting to me because the people who are usually preaching about it and calling out artist know more about it than their own religion. And most of the time they just recyle information they see on the internet without really knowing what they’re talking about.
