Did Nation of Islam Help Cover Up Murder of ‘Notorious’ Rapper?

They say truth is stranger than fiction and this time might not be an exception. Nearly a decade and a half after the murder of famed rapper Notorious B.I.G. a.k.a. Christopher Wallace, new developments in the case point to the alleged culprits. So who would murder a wildly popular rapper from Brooklyn? Gang members? One of rival west coast rapper Tupac Shakur’s henchmen? An obsessed fan? Try Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. As they say in the rap industry: “word?”
Clayton Hill, an inmate and former NOI member has reportedly come forward as an accessory to “Biggie Smalls” murder and implicated fellow NOI member Dawoud Muhammad as the man who pulled the trigger.
In an upcoming e-book titled “Diary of an Ex-Terrorist” Hill alleges Dawoud bragged about getting paid “twenty-five g’s” for Biggie’s hit. HipHopDX first broke the story:
After first contacting HipHopDX on June 8th, Hill disclosed to DX that in October of 2010 he met with Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy DePodesta and two agents with the F.B.I.’s Domestic Terrorism Unit and revealed that in May of 1997, while acting under orders as an official with Muhammad Mosque #15 in Atlanta, Georgia, he took possession of a semi-automatic handgun from a fellow N.O.I. member from Los Angeles, California who introduced himself as Dawoud Muhammad.
“[Dawoud Muhammad] stated to me that he was on the run for the murder [of The Notorious B.I.G.],” Hill wrote to HipHopDX via the CorrLinks email system for federal inmates. “He disclosed that he was the shooter of The Notorious B.I.G. because he (Dawoud) was a former Blood gang member and was paid to do so.”
According to HipHopDx, Hill was initially contacted in 1997 by ROI ministers Tony Muhammad and Melvin Muhammad with an instruction to pick up Dawoud from a Greyhound bus station in Atlanta. What is described next is Hill and Dawoud’s alleged procurement, then disposal of the murder weapon:
And after picking up the man he had been introduced to as “Dawoud,” Hill procured the weapon he claims he was instructed to retrieve. Writing in his book Clayton explained, “I told [Dawoud Muhammad] I had instructions to collect some property from him. He must have been given the same instructions because he didn’t hesitate or show any signs of doubt as he bent over and removed a trash liner out of a waste can and handed it to me to hold open. He reached into the duffle bag he brought with him and pulled out a semi-automatic hand gun that could have been a .9 millimeter or a .40 caliber wrapped in a white undershirt. Carefully he placed it into the trash bag making sure his hands never touched any of the exposed parts of the gun.”
After allegedly receiving his final instructions from Melvin Muhammad, Clayton claims he was instructed to take the “property” to Louisville, Kentucky. In Louisville, Hill delivered the gun to Emile Muhammad, the personal driver of Minister Louis Farrakhan. Emile Muhammad then allegedly transported the gun to its final destination within the headquarters of the Nation of Islam.
“Somebody in Chicago wanted that weapon,” Hill replied when asked by HipHopDX why a murder weapon would not be immediately disposed of and instead be taken on a cross-country trip from Los Angeles to Atlanta to Louisville to the N.O.I.’s HQ. “Who wanted it? I can’t say for sure but whoever wanted it had to be high ranking.”
Authorities have yet to apprehend Dawoud and until that time we may never know for sure how deep, if at all, Nation of Islam‘s role was in Big’s death. What also doesn’t seem clear is the motive. What threat did a hip hop artist pose to the Nation of Islam? So far, no one has that answer, but when it comes to NOI, anything could be possible.
For those who aren’t familiar with Biggie and even for those who are, below is a video of the song that launched the rapper into stardom:

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 6:56amI want a one on one fighting match against Farrahkan. No white person has more that right. I grew up in his dream of the destruction of Detroit under the disguise of Equal Rights. I also did Printing for the Nation Of Islam that to this day the top dogs in Detroit knew a white boy was printing but threw a black friend of mine center stage to cover this fact up. I tell what most do posting here. I tell the real truth. I can say from many personal experiences with the nation that ONE GOAL is their agenda. Hate and Destroy the White Race. And Kill ASAP any Black that Crosses them. I have no reason to lie. I actually lived through this stuff and I could go on and on on what I know and have witnessed. So I call out Louis, me and you anywhere. He ain’t nothing but a Punk.

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 5:07amFunny, for years – the black community has been blaming whites for his murder, even speculating that his murder was the result of a cop killing activist. It makes sense that another minority community that they would never suspect would commit a crime such as this. Its disgusting to see how much blame that whites have been put in the spotlight for things that in many cases they could care less about, especially when the first slaveowner was black and they basically oppressed their own culture by being instilled with a multilateral misunderstanding which has influenced their an unnecessary hatred for the majority population when they put alot of those oppressive views upon themselves and continue to believe these racist lies with each passing generation. .

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 4:54amMan, I remember the night, because it was an LAPD TAC Alert for blocks. He was shot next to the Petersen Auto Museum on Fairfax Ave. & Wilshire. I couldn’t get home along my normal route. As I read the story here, I web searched just to refresh my memory on the details. I also remember Calypso Louie absolutely denying the White Devil rumors that a member of The Nation could be involved, because a suspect sketch came with a bow tie! The Wiki entry is a little eerie. Scroll down and look at the bow tie on the composite:

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 4:42amThey killed him because he had the rapper tupac killed. Tupac was too famous, and biggie wanted rap fans to pay attention to him. And they said a nation of islam member killed biggie, for the bloods, because tupac was a blood. It looked like it was a lone NOI doing the killing though, but now it looks like it wasn’t just a lone NOI member. Looks like farakhan himself was part of it.

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 1:47amThere is noone more full of misplaced hate than Farrakhan. Gadhafi has been financing the Nation Of Islam for a long time. And helping out that other hate-filled man the Rev. Jeremiah Wright-is-wrong too. Now that Farrakhan’s benefactor is being hunted down by his Messiah, he must feel so betrayed.
Hey, he should have known that Obama plays the same games as he does and he’s just as ruthless. Obama just covers it up better. I’m just waiting for Obama to take off his mask and reveal his true colors.
I don’t think anyone would be sorry to see Farrakhan go down, and I wouldn’t put anything past him. The truth tends to reveal itself in the end.
I hope they catch the braggart, Dawoud Muhammad, though I won’t hold my breath. The Attorney General Nation-of-Cowards Eric Holder only prosecutes white men.
