Snoop Dogg has joined the Nation Of Islam, the Long Beach rapper has revealed.
According to the BBC, Snoop attended the group's Saviors' Day event in Chicago on Sunday (March 1st). The rap star told reporters he had joined the movement because he was "doing what's right and representing what's right".
After watching Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan giving a speech to followers, Snoop said his words were "about a mirror - it's about looking at yourself". "We're doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting."
The rapper confirmed he was a member when asked, telling reporters: "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." He added. "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."
