Yesterday while speaking at a religious event (……huh!?) in Chicago rapper Snoop Dogg surprised the crowd with an announcement he’s now joined the religious group led by Minister Louis Farrakhan. According to sources:
It is reported by the Associated Press that he also made a donation to the group of $1,000. Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, talked about his reasons for joining the religious group in relatively loose terms. “I’m an advocate for peace. I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music,” he told followers. “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.”
Discussing his religious beliefs at this weekend’s Nation of Islam event, the Doggystyle rapper referred to himself as the “leader of the hip-hop community” and hinted that his affiliation with the group is not new. “It’s about seeing yourself and what you can do to better the situation,” Broadus said. “We’re doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting.”
Snoop is the only rapper that can go from being the most gangster to doing something so positive so believably. Now somebody pass the man a joint!

Where is ashton b/c this has to be jokes allllll day!
Being Muslim …does not mean a person can not smoke ……I know several Muslims personally and they smoke (the good stuff) regularly ! It don’t hurt ……and they pray several times a day ( not while under the influence either ) I am still trying to figure out how they pull it off , but they do it !
I just cant get over some of the hypocrisies & ideas regarding women but then again every religion has them. Im catholic and we all know what they are guilty of sometimes.
WOW this is a big step for snoop I hope he is serious about it , GOD bless him .

Snoop, “do you!” my dude…

I don’t get it…niggas wear crosses around their neck and advocate violence and crime, niggas killing niggas and thinking there is a ghetto in the sky for them, niggas claim Islam but claim to be pimping and shit…wtf man come on…You can’t have your cake and eat it too like that. Bunch of BS. Niggas just looking for something to hide behind.
^ word.
i mean what religion are u?
everybody need something they can go to that appears bigger than them (god).
Salaam Alaikum, Brothe Broadus!!
everybody has the right to believe in something…
we all have our faults…
him choosing to learn about a new religion or even claiming to follow one in some rights…does not give you full detail as to what he hopes to take away from this experience…
maybe hes not changing over fully…maybe he is…
only he or those who live with him can say anything…
i dont mean to hate because im always real! but why does everyone wants to become a muslim? i mean when black men go to jail alot leave muslims, or they just convert claiming that its there ancestors religion in africa! and that being a christian or believing in jesus is stupid because thats white religion not saying that that is snoop’s reason.. but it just confuses me so much like dont you realize africa believed in jesus before the arabs came and forced to them to read the quran and become a muslim? i mean come on people there’s black people in the bible! i dont understand why everyone wants to run to islam i mean if thats what makes your life better then so be it but you know what? yall can hate me for dis but most of these dudes no better and come from a chrstian background all i can say is there will be a judgement day someday and i got a feeling its soon
