The religion of "peace' has attracted another celebrity musician. Snoop Dog now joins ranks with Michael Jackson as honorary members of Islam.
Snoop Dogg joins Nation of Islam
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.

Hilarious and sickening at the same time!!
Guess he will give up his drinking.... and his porn movie career... oh... and Islam is not too big on Music either.... guess you're pretty much screwed there too Snoop... IDIOT
It seems they are picking up all the washed up rejects.if he were to move there it would be doing our country a favor.I think he would have to change his name cause they don't like Dogs LOL
This is just the start wait till they recruit in the jails.
99 percent of the commenters i see on the internet are stereotypes and the ones on here are no exception, in other words so shallow. May Allah save all of us.
Why is Every body Complaining and Wining Like College Girls? He Chose to be a Muslim . It's Up To Him, It's something Personal and has nuttin to do with being a superstar or a reject or nothing. mind your own buinesess people and don't judge others !!!!
Mirror,
It was an interesting article and we need less people joining Islam not more. Islam is a threat to the freedoms of the West and we will judge them. If you want to ignore the issue that is your choice.
Anonymous your comment amounts to nothing important. Only that you can not take people criticizing Islam. God should save the world and free everyone from Islam.
Mirror why do you capitalize words in the middle of your sentences?
Who are you to tell anyone what to do? You must be a Muslim.
My view is that I will sit back and WATCH.
This will be a display of the integrity of the Nation of Islam.
If one of their converts continues his ignorant ways while THEY say nothing to rebuke him then their integrity is as low as his.
If we see a reformed Calvin Broadus then this is better for the world.
people make me sick!!!!!! cant face a black man tryna get right with the right god ALLAH. you only accept us when we r doing evil, praise be to allah that he has joined! he see's the truth! god came to the rejected and we black ppl r being rejected! the west is aginst god an always has being meaning you are the devil! for tru, u prove it every time you say whats on your mind
Islam is NOT a threat to the world but islamic fanatics are - there's a difference. I'm a muslim and proud to be one; But I am absolutely against terroism and murder!!! And so are all the other muslims I know!!
And music is NOT prohibited in the Quran - but stupid people like taleban and whatnot are brainwashing people to think so - most of these people are uneducated and can't read the quran - so it's easy to brainwash them...
MAY ALLAH MAKE IT EASY FOR BROTHER SNOOP AND MAKING HIM STRONGER IN ISLAM.AMEEN
Alhamdulilah, i thank God for Snoop's life. But i want him to understand something, Islam means total submission. Therefore, he has to keep away from all bad and immoral attitude. Coz Islam tolerates no shitt.
I absolutely match with everything you've presented us.
To my mind every person ought to browse on it.
His name does not include dog. It includes dogg !
Amazing. Read our religion.(Islam) Understand and judge. We are raising $5000 for anyone who can find in the bible jesus sayin " i am god"
