The “Right Thurr” rapper posted an image of armed hooded men to his Instagram account accompanied by the caption, “don’t be fooled by your TV programs showing you heads being cut off an all that…” referring to the gruesome televised murder of American journalist James Foley. The rapper, who is also a believer in the Illuminati, must have had a change of heart, because the post has since been removed.(Photo: Charley Gallay/Getty Images)
