I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur`an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet... we will be successful.
I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.
I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I`m an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.
