all I need to read is that he called himself allah...

What's up with the putting X as your last name, though? Is the 5% thing related to the Nation of Islam?

I asked my self the same a couple of years ago:
They put a x in their last name, because the last name "black" people(in the US) have was the name of their master. So a master gave their slaves their last name. They put an x there to show that their not "slaves" anymore.
 

Peace2u

Turn To Islam

It's a group that has derived from the Nation of Islam, most of the members who join are into Hip Hop music. They have made up their own little religion and claim that African American men are God and women are heaven Astagfarullah.

The reason they add an X instead of having a surname is simply because they refused to use the slave name that was given to their forefathers by their white masters.

Please read the story of Malcom X and you will have a better understanding, Alhamdulilah Malcom X broke away from the Nation of Islam only until he knew what true Islam was all about. He changed his name after going to Hajj to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.

Salam alai kum
