Korn's Jonathan Davis: 'Barack Obama Is An Illuminati Puppet'

Nu-metal and dubstep crossover band Korn’s frontman Jonathan Davis has made some interesting (to say the least) comments recently, including claiming that his band were “dubstep before there was dubstep”, but the vocalist has now spoken out to air his opinion that American President Barack Obama was an “Illuminati puppet”.
The band, who’ve just released their latest album ‘The Path of Totality’, a crossover of their original nu-metal genre with today’s brostep, have a track on the new LP entitled ‘Illuminati’ – and it appears that the song was inspired by Davis’ belief that the underground secret society is real, and that Obama is one of their puppets.
“I feel like Obama's an Illuminati puppet,” Davis told Billboard. “He's basically dragged this country down into the worst it's ever been. Like I say about the White House, 'You've built this house of shame'.
“Everybody looked up at the White House and America and now I think it's like a house of shame. I miss the old days when people were proud to be American.”
He went on to claim that his band felt like they had to ‘push the envelope’, and that’s why they decided to turn dubstep with their new record.
“I feel that the rock world is really stale and all the new stuff that's been coming out of that has been pretty lame. The basis of our band has always been about experimenting and pushing the envelope. We didn't expect it to turn into a record. We were just trying something new out, see what happened.”
