Minister Farrakhan later addressed Jay Z presenting his Five-Percent Nation chain to Jay Electronica during his performance at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival.
“So, if someone offered me what Brother Jay Electronica was offered by Brother Jay Z, I too would accept it with the biggest smile on my face, for I too, as all of us in The Nation of Islam, are The Five Percent: Poor Righteous Teachers who are called to teach the 85 Percent, and free them from the chains of slavery and subservience as tools of the 10 Percent,” he said.
Despite those words from Minister Farrakhan, Jay Z recently faced criticism after he was pictured wearing a Five-Percent Nation chain.
Papoose called on Jay Z to attend a Five-Percent Nation event in Harlem while an alleged rep for the Five-Percent Nation told the New York Post that the Brooklyn lyricist “is not an active member” of the organization.
