Wild Rihanna Illuminati conspiracy after Super Bowl debunked
Illuminati conspiracies are flooding the internet after Rihanna’s Super Bowl performance as she made a triangle symbol with her hands.
The Barbadian musician did the much-anticipated half-time show on Sunday (February 12) and sang some of her biggest tracks from the past two decades.
Rihanna started with her 2015 song B**** Better Have My Money before performing Where Have You Been?, Only Girl in the World, and nine more killer hits.
The 34-year-old, who recently welcomed her first baby with ASAP Rocky, closed the NFL event with a beautiful rendition of Diamonds.
Her performance was nothing short of spectacular and had nothing to do with the conspiracy group. In fact, there’s a reason for her hand gesture…
Rihanna Illuminati theories go viral after Super Bowl
The links to the Illuminati have taken over TikTok following the Super Bowl, where one video has had more than 8.5 million views.
“Why is no one talking about this?” the viral clip says. “The sign that she’s doing and also the shape of her stage?”
It then zooms into the screen, which shows the star doing a triangle symbol with her hands, and has “#Illuminati” in the caption.
The Illuminati is a name given to an alleged secret society who control the world according to conspiracy theories, and their logo is an eye inside a triangle.
In her performance, the We Found Love singer also wore red, which is the color of danger, fuelling the theories even further.
It’s actually the Roc-A-Fella Records symbol
Internet users are running wild with the Illuminati theories, but there’s a very normal explanation for the triangle hand gesture.
Rihanna was doing the Roc-A-Fella symbol, which was created and trademarked by Jay-Z and symbolises his record label.
The star is signed to Roc Nation, a label the rapper founded in 2008 to succeed his previous one, Roc-A-Fella Records.
Using the hand symbol is known as “throwing up the rock” and originated with the slang term “rock,” which means diamond.
All kinds of celebrities have been seen doing it, from Kanye West to Beyonce, and it certainly has nothing to do with the Illuminati.

Fans debunk Rihanna Illuminati conspiracies
In fact, avid Rihanna fans knew the triangle was the Roc-A-Fella symbol and have been debunking the silly Illuminati conspiracy in the comments.
One person wrote: “It’s because she’s part of ‘the roc’ aka Roc-A-Fella Records… Jay-Z’s label… he’s been doing the diamond for over a decade.”
Another said “Just watched Beyonce’s 2013 Super Bowl performance and she did the same sign,” which prompted another to explain the symbol.
“Ahhhh I was wondering how long before I saw my first Illuminati post,” a third TikTok user added with a laughing emoji.
“Honestly people don’t even come up for air from these rabbit holes,” someone else hilariously replied as others laughed.
Many added that she did the gesture while singing her track Diamonds, and the title links to the “throwing up the rock” slang.
