Snoop Dogg appeared at the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours Day Convention in Chicago on Sunday, with a $1,000 donation for the movement and words of praise for its leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan.

“When you get a speech from Minister Farrakhan it’s about a mirror, it’s about looking at yourself,” the rapper later told The Associated Press. “It’s about seeing yourself and what you can do to better the situation … We’re doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting.”

When asked by the AP if he planned to convert to Islam and become a member of the Nation, Snoop replied that he has already joined in the movement.

“I’m already in the Nation, that’s why I’m here,” he explained. “I’m an advocate for peace. I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music. 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.”
