4. Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is a man who doesn’t require any introduction. He has grabbed headlines plenty of times in his career. He obtained unprecedented attention from the media when he bit Evander Holyfield and decided to own a pet tiger etc. The man was infamously convicted of rape too! The former boxer decided to convert to Islam during his stint in prison for the rape conviction. In order to understand the faith better, Mike has even made a trip to Mecca!
5. Busta Rhymes
Busta Rhymes gives credit to his faith for grounding him. People were appalled when he released the song, Arab Monkey. The lyrical content of the song greatly offended both the American and British Muslims and the song was rightly banned from being played on the radio. Unlike many others in the list, Busta Rhymes might not be the strictest follower of his faith.
6. Janet Jackson
When you are related to the late great King of Pop, you can expect a great deal of attention from the media. The media outlets can be vicious in their research and according to them, Janet Jackson is allegedly fully converted to Islam. When she tied nuptials with Wissam Al Mana, many were under the impression that she had converted her religion to marry him. And if she did, she’s not the first in the family to follow the preaching of Islam; Jermaine Jackson beat her to it.
