Fact check
Is it true: Madonna and the Illuminati?
No — this has been debunked.
No credible evidence supports the claim. The primary visual evidence (triangle gesture, all-seeing eye) has documented non-Illuminati origins: ballroom culture (Vogue, 1990) and centuries of Western art and architecture. The Bavarian Illuminati disbanded in 1785 and no contemporary successor organisation is documented. Madonna's Kabbalah Centre membership is a real religious affiliation, not an Illuminati connection. The ADL has documented the antisemitic genealogy of the modern Illuminati framework.
The claim

Key evidence
Triangle hand gesture appears repeatedly in performances
The Bavarian Illuminati disbanded in 1785
