For Beale, the trip to Saudi Arabia symbolizes his emergence from a world of drugs and violence " During Ramadan in 2001, Beale observed the monthlong Islamic holiday by giving up alcohol, which is forbidden to observant Muslims Record producer Mikal Kamil said he saw the rapper with a malt liquor can in one hand and a marijuana cigarette in the other "He was, like, city raw," said Doc Bull, a longtime friend Rapper Makes Muslim Pilgrimage Feb 8, 4:42 PM EST Gangsta rapper Napoleon has a new name this week: Pilgrim During a rehearsal, he grabbed the microphone from Sean "Puffy" Combs, starting a shoving match The rapper, who real name is Mutah Wasin Shabazz Beale, is joining millions of other Muslims in making the annual hajj to Mecca Kamil said he began introducing Beale to his faith, sharing scripture and prayers and offering advice based on Islamic teachings "But he also impressed me as a leader who could get people to move in any direction "That broke me," said Beale, who started attending mosque prayer services regularly "And I've been in many Jersey neighborhoods worse than any war "He was a beast, a barbarian," Kamil said It is required once in a lifetime for all Muslims who are able-bodied and can afford the trip "I found Allah, I'm not worried," Beale said "People respect me more because of it In those days, Beale was finishing a fifth of cognac every two days and carrying a gun "Before I didn't care about living or dying," said the 25-year-old, who lives with his fiance and 3-year-old son in Santa Clarita You feel when God wants you to do something " Beale currently is working on a solo album called "Scriptures From a Thug's Point of View He said he was a Muslim at the time but just barely " Beale, a member of the rap group Outlawz and a protege of the late Tupac Shakur, is best known for an incident at MTV's 20th anniversary special in 2001 Although Beale's trip comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, the possibility of war doesn't frighten him "I was still doing some wild stuff but I was getting closer and closer to God He turned his whole life completely around "Now I recognize how beautiful life is A I love to have another day to pray to Allah L Beale's transformation began two years ago in a North Hollywood recording studio " I don't want to say I didn't think he could do it, but I knew him when he was evil " Saturday was the start of the five-day annual pilgrimage to the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad " "I don't regret nothing in my past," Beale told the Los Angeles Times for a Saturday story " Beale said he felt "the empty hole in my heart" filling If he became a true Muslim, he could easily bring in thousands and millions more to the faith It shows that only God can humble someone like me "He was real, real bad, hard on women and hard on the dudes he didn't love Acquaintances noticed a change " "They have rushed to judgment to bring a case against Ms Prosecutors' version is that Faneuil, young and impressionable, passed the tip about the Waksal sale from Bacanovic to Stewart, then was pressured by Bacanovic to support his version of Stewart's stock sale Stewart, and in that rush to judgment they have charged an innocent man," Strassberg said Seymour noted that the company depended on Stewart's image, and that for every dollar the media company's stock fell, Stewart stood to lose $30 million They included a Merrill Lynch official who discussed the firm's requirement that it keep its clients' transactions confidential Waksal later admitted he was tipped that federal regulators were about to issue a negative report on ImClone's only drug, the cancer treatment Erbitux But he described Stewart in December 2001 as weary from the holidays, and finally willing to follow Bacanovic's repeated suggestions to get rid of her ImClone holdings Prosecutor: Stewart Sold Stock on 'Tip' Jan 27, 6:39 PM EST Martha Stewart sold stock based on "a secret tip" that no one else had, then told an avalanche of lies to save her reputation and enormous fortune, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday in laying out the case against the homemaking queen Morvillo's strategy was clear: The defense lawyer demonized Waksal, the federal government and Douglas Faneuil, Bacanovic's former assistant who will be the star prosecution witness Waksal later pleaded guilty to securities fraud and has begun serving a prison term of more than seven years 27, 2001 S The government and defense statements offered a preview of Faneuil's testimony, which â€â€? unless Stewart herself takes the stand â€â€? is likely to be the most important of the trial "The reason that Martha Stewart dumped her shares is because she was told a secret," Seymour said Stewart's attorney insisted the case was based on "speculation, surmise and guesswork "After hearing the other side of the story," he said, "you decide what's right, whether they should be punished, who's telling the truth The other witness, acting ImClone CEO Daniel Lynch, briefly discussed the mechanics of the company's application for government approval of Erbitux Morvillo never flatly denied that Stewart was tipped to the Waksal sale Denying that she was tipped was "another pure and simple lie," Seymour said She avoided $45,673 in losses on the shares by selling before the bad news was made public "A secret tip that no other investors in ImClone had Bacanovic is also charged with five counts and faces 25 years Testimony will resume Thursday " When testimony began Tuesday afternoon, jurors heard from two prosecution witnesses "But he didn't want his friend Martha Stewart sitting on a stock that was about to be obliterated by bad news Bacanovic attorney Richard Strassberg said the broker made a paltry $450 on the sale Assistant U " Stewart attorney Robert Morvillo pointed out that 7 million shares of rapidly falling ImClone were sold on the day Stewart sold hers Strassberg said Faneuil was star-struck by his limited contact with Stewart Reasonable parents hear both sides before deciding who is at fault, he said "And so she lied over and over during a key period, to try to keep the price of (her company) from falling At one point, Morvillo banged his fist on the front rail of the jury box and said there was no record Stewart and Bacanovic had talked after the stock sale to discuss their supposedly cooked-up $60 story " Stewart was almost motionless as the arguments unfolded in front of her, resting her chin on her hand and occasionally tapping an index finger against her lips "He knew he couldn't do it," she said The government contends that Stewart, on her way to a vacation in Mexico, was tipped that ImClone founder Sam Waksal was trying to dump his own shares, then ordered her own shares sold But, the prosecutor said, he made sure word of Waksal's sale was passed along to Stewart Morvillo asked jurors to liken the case to dealing with an angry child who tells a parent that he or she has been hit by a sibling With parts of the New York area expected to get 10 inches or more of snow, Cedarbaum canceled Wednesday's proceedings He also said Stewart was telling the truth in an April 2002 interview with investigators in which she said she did not recall such a tip Attorney Karen Patton Seymour said Stewart then conspired with her stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, to tell a series of cover-up lies about the sale "Martha Stewart was determined to put her own interests ahead of her own investors," the prosecutor said The prosecutor told jurors they would hear evidence that Stewart tried to pump up the stock of her own company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, with false accounts of the ImClone investigation in 2002 , to pass information about one client's trades to another, Seymour said She faces up to 30 years in prison on charges that include obstruction of justice and securities fraud, but would likely get a far lighter penalty if convicted Attorneys for Stewart and Bacanovic aimed to convince jurors that the two defendants had done nothing out of the ordinary for a diligent broker and responsible client, arguing that they had decided six days before the ImClone sale to get rid of the stock if it fell to $60 Bacanovic knew it was against the policy of his firm, Merrill Lynch & Co Both defense attorneys characterized Faneuil as a liar who is cooperating with the government to get out of his own prosecution " The jury of eight women and four men listened to three hours of opening statements that outlined starkly different portrayals of Stewart's sale of nearly 4,000 shares in the biotechnology company ImClone Systems on Dec That report sent the stock plummeting |
