Jay-Z causes controversy by wearing gaudy medallion of 'Five Percent Nation' group who believe whites are 'wicked and weak'
• The Brooklyn-born rapper wore a medallion representing the Five Percent Nation at a Nets game last week
• One of the main tenets of the Nation of Islam offshoot is that white people are 'weak and wicked' and that black men hold the power of God
• When asked if the medallion holds any importance to him, Jay-Z said: 'A little bit'
• Jay-Z was spotted wearing the nation's symbol last year while giving radio interviews for his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail
• A representative for the Five-Percenters said Jay-Z is not an active member and shouldn't be wearing regalia unless he subscribes to their beliefs
Jay-Z raised eyebrows at the Barclay's Center last week when he wore a medallion symbolizing the Five Percent Nation.
The Brooklyn-born rapper was sitting court-side at a Nets game on Tuesday with wife Beyonce when he was snapped wearing the controversial symbol.
One of the core tenants of the Five Percent Nation - an off-shoot of the Nation of Islam - is that white people are 'wicked and inferior' to black men.
When asked by a reporter whether the medallion is meaningful to him, Jay-Z shrugged and said 'A little bit'.
This isn't the first time that the rapper has been connected to the Five-Percenters.
He was photographed wearing another similar medallion while giving radio interviews for his album Magna Carta Holy Grail last summer.
And in 'Heaven' a track on that album, Jay-Z references the Five-Percenters acronym for Allah by rapping 'Arm leg leg arm head'.
The Five Percent Nation was founded in 1963 by Clarence Smith, a former student of Malcolm X.

and most of those hits (over 90 percent) are from the dark side itself.
i would reply bit i am to bizzy pickin cotton
Jay-Z was or still is a heroin dealer
You know, if Jay Z thinks white people are so bad, white people should just stop buying his, and his wife's, music. Let's see how rich they remain, if only folks who are not white buy the stuff they peddle.
Obama is the perfect example of this.
Or Jeremiah Wright, guy is lighter skinned than most whites.
There is nothing wrong with interracial relationships. There is something wrong with the hypocricy.
It must of been all of those wealthy blacks that made this ex crack dealer rich huh?
Geez... Michael Jordan’s woman is totally H-A-W-T.
Blacks are 13% of our population.
6.5% are men
Less than 4 % of the US population are black males between the ages of 14-35.
Black men of the ages of 14-35 fill over 65% of all US jails.
SO, can anybody here explain to me why this black ex crack dealer is wearing some tacky 5% medallion around his neck?
Blacks will rule the USA someday and it will be Utopia?
What, Like Liberia is?
Maybe JayZ should move to that paradise and leave the rest of us alone...
What a moron.
Maybe he’ll fall off a yacht and sink like a rock with that freaky metal anchor hanging off his stupid neck.
LoL!
Jay-Z Another reason to shun the people in Hollyweird.
This is not anywhere NEAR as bad as donating $1000 to prop 8, though. /sarcasm
I wonder what his white mother-in-law thinks about this?

What a sad but completely truthful comment....
They aren’t hypocrites at all. In their mind they’re showing their dominance over weak White men by taking White women.
Makes all the sense in the world...
