In the song lyrics of "Exhibit C" by rapper Jay Electronica of Roc Nation, "trying to find the meaning of life in a Corona, till the Five Percenters rolled up on a nigga and reformed him", he credits Allah and Muhammad aka "True Islam" as the ones who recruited him to the Five Percent Nation.
In an article in The Final Call newspaper that covered the response of "the Demonstration" which was a performance by Jay Electronica and Jay-Z at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival accompanied by a large cadre of the Fruit of Islam, Wakeel Allah wrote about the historical ties between the Nation of Islam and the Five Percenters.
