Snoop Dogg has revealed he has joined the Nation of Islam after appearing at the religious group's annual Saviours' Day event in Chicago.

The rapper, who described himself as the "leader of the hip-hop community", told followers he would share what he learned with other musicians.

He told reporters that he joined the group because he was "doing what's right and representing what's right".

It preaches self-reliance for black people within an Islamic framework.

At Sunday's event, the rapper sat on stage while Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave a speech.

I live how I'm supposed to live as far as doing what's right and representing what's right - that's why I was here today

He said afterwards that listening to the speech from Mr Farrakhan was "about a mirror - it's about looking at yourself".

He added: "We're doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting."

When asked if he had joined the movement he said: "I'm already in the Nation, that's why I'm here.

"I'm an advocate for peace, I've been in the peace movement ever since I've been making music.

"My whole thing is not about really trying to push my thing on you.

"It's just about the way I live, and I live how I'm supposed to live as far as doing what's right and representing what's right - that's why I was here today."

He would not say when he had joined the Nation of Islam.

Other rappers previously involved with the movement include NWA star-turned-actor Ice Cube

The Nation of Islam as a body and Islam as a way of life are two different variables. Have you seen Busta Rhymes "I live my life according to Islam" interview?

No i havent seen it where can i check it out.

The nation of islam doesnt actually represent the orthodox islam but people that join tend to somehow deiscover the real islam. Lets hope this artist move a step closer inshallah!!!

Well said, Lagosboy. Wish him the best.

I would join them too cause they make good body guards.


THe nation of islam is a cult of hidden black supremacists and if they use Islam as a framework then thats bad for anyone who associates with them.

Uhmm, OK!

Fard Muhammad
(Fake God)

Fard is a Fake God. The N.O.I. (Nation of Islam) teaches that their God, Master Fard Muhammad (aka W.D. Fard), is a half-original man. As you can see from this photo, this man is not a dark brown-skinned, or even a light brown-skinned, woolly haired person. You are looking at a Canaanite with straight hair. This is by far, not one of you, the original seed.

The Saudis regard the nation of Islam as a butt of joke and kufir

I think so too. . . But then who are the Saudi's to dictate or endorse how Islam should be to the rest of the world?

MrCrackles,

Nation of Islam has little or nothing to do with true Islam. Will inshaAllah get that explained to you when I get back.

Hence Saudis are right.

brother! Whenever Islamic issues are discuss, Holy Quaran and Haddith are supposed to refer to and not what the saudi think or said.

Exactly what i was thinking. . .
Saudis dont have any right to run the rule over Islam

@Muhsin :

The Saudis are very very racist. They looked down on the nation of Islam because it is a predominately a black group. The Arabs have no respect for black people whatsoever.

Bilal who the islamist use as an examplar to convert black especially in the US was despised by the haughty Quraysh tribe.

keep quiet make we hear wordzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

: Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah (i.e. follows Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a Muhsin (good-doer i.e. performs good deeds totally for Allah's sake only without any show off or to gain praise or fame, etc., and in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger Muhammad Peace be upon him ) then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

It is clear from all your posts i have been folowing that you are simply an Islam hater. I have read a lot of posts on the xtianity thread of this Nairaland and discovered that you have not made any meaningfull contribution to the faith you implied to be propagating even when crucial issues are raised on the foundation of that faith.
Here is my advise to you: However you display hatred for Islam, it will continue to grow and attract genuine truth-seekers. Start to see Islam as a good religion and don't use the actions of few disgrunted elements in Islam as a yard stick to judge Islam, else you will be hunted for life by your own hatred on what you can not change.

[size=13pt]The very TRUE TALK. . . . [/size]

hallo sire,first of all i am not an islam hater but i am an hater of falsehood, and contradictions of any sort,so if this and more applies to islam then you can call me an islam hater.
rather than asking me to see islam as a good religion,i will advice you to justify the inherent contradictions,intolerance gender inequality e.t.c in islam including the islamic extremist/martyrs which islam justifies then i will start to see islam as a good religion.
dont blame me if i dont go near a religion that teaches its adherents to cut off my finger tips and behead me because i am a christian,its like telling me to stick my head in the mouth of a saltwater crocodile in faith.
and by the the few disgruntled elements in islam are not that few,because they got their justifications from islam and millions of muslims actually subscribe to these views,hunted for life??so it has come to threats looool

[size=13pt]Teee heee heee now that is bullet case you're running away . it's pretty funny enough the blood of JESUS won't save you from physical weapon--- well , you may be right . Snoopy my man is now enjoying himself in hell with his new colleagues and that's how it suppose to be .

Now , you see each day christians convert from their religion to another because at every end they notice Christianity is wasting of time and enslavement of self desire . I was a victim of this same so-called christian religion but Thanks to SATAN i've found my realself.[/size]

Ogaga whats ur joy? Hes now a muslim not a satanist.He still believes in God&not Satan
