US rapper Snoop Dogg has become a member of the Nation of Islam, which preaches self-reliance for black people.
The rapper spoke about his membership at the group's annual Saviours' Day event in Chicago over the weekend.
Speaking to reporters, Snoop Dogg said he was "doing what's right and representing what's right".
"We're doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting,” he added.
The group, which has previously boasted rapper Ice Cube as a member, was founded in Detroit in 1930.
At the Saviours' Day event on Sunday, Snoop Dogg refused to reveal when he joined the group – but said he hoped he could discuss his knowledge with fellow rappers.
"I'm an advocate for peace, I've been in the peace movement ever since I've been making music,” he said.
"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."
