During a interview with VladTv, California rapper Kam talked about introducing Ice Cube to the Nation of Islam. He even recalled cutting off Cube’s Jheri curl.
Kam claims that the two of them talked about things that interested them. Cube shared his passion for music while Kam talked about being apart of the Nation of Islam. Kim says that he cut off Cube’s curls and they left that part out of the “Straight out of Compton” movie.
“I did that. They left that out in the movie. Yeah, I cut his curl off. We was cool like that, so that ain’t nothing…He wasn’t NOI [Nation of Islam], but he was studying—He was aware, but yeah, he wasn’t NOI…Just brotherhood. Just sharing information, sharing experiences. He had a lot to offer me that was attractive to me about his lifestyle and music. What I had to offer, what I brought to the table was my lifestyle and experience. And it was just a mutual exchange of what I was into versus what he was into, and bringing them together…He brought me around the music thang. He put me on on the music thang. And I put him on on the brotherhood thang.”
Kim never fully said whether Cube joined the NOI. Instead, he gave a yes or no answer.
I would say ‘yeah’ and ‘no.’ Because all of us—If you know the definition, Islam is just an Arabic word that means submission or peace. One of our definitions is mathematics. It’s just mathematics, science, truth. So, all of it. All human beings is actually Muslim if you understand it right. As far as that specific organization. And the rules and regulations, and all of that. Yeah, he agreed. And he accepted his own. But by him being a high profile person, entertainer, celebrity, and all that, you can’t bring a person down to boot camp level if he already got the ear of millions.”
