Q-Tip
Acclaimed rapper and hip hop producer, Q-Tip, who rose to fame as part of the group A Tribe Called Quest, was born Jonathan Davis in 1970. In 1990, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Kamaal Ibn John Fareed.
“I read the Koran and it appealed to me,” Q-Tip told The Guardian of his conversion. “At the time I was agnostic and it really breathed spiritually back into me… For me it’s really a cushion. It’s cool. I’m cool with it.”
