World famous rapper, Snoop Dog was spotted at the Nation of Islam convention at an annual event held in Rosemont, Illinois on March 1.

Snoop Dog, born as Calvin Broadus has often praised minister Louis Farrakhan of the convention. He was also spotted applauding Farrakhan for his speech at the event and has been encouraging the others to join the movement.

When you get a speech from Minister Farrakhan it's about a mirror, it's about looking at yourself," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"It's about seeing yourself and what you can do to better the situation... We're doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting," he added.

Snoop Dog was questioned if he would be converting to the nation of Islam, for which he replied, "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. 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."
