Following the announcement that Lil Wayne would be joining the Zulu Nation, a handful of entertainers have also been named as new Zulu Nation members. According to AllHipHop.com, OutKast lyricist Big Boi, Queens, New York rapper Nas, and late-night television host Jimmy Fallon are among the new members.
News of Big Boi joining the Zulu Nation was made public by Q-Tip, who previously revealed that Lil Wayne was a new member, via Twitter.
Additionally, Quadeer “M.C. Spice” Shakur, Zulu Nation’s Minister Of Information, shared with AllHipHop.com that Nas is now a Zulu Nation member and Jimmy Fallon has become an honorary member.
“The Tonight Show” host serves as one of the first entertainers to join the newly announced, Honorary Zulu chapter.
Following the announcement that Lil Wayne would be joining the Zulu Nation, producer 9th Wonder released a statement addressing those who criticized the organization’s decision to recruit the rapper.
“Dwayne Carter, also known to the world as Lil Wayne, is a member and an Ahki (which means ‘brother’) in the Universal Zulu Nation founded in 1973 by Afrika Bambaataa—a former gang member of the Black Spades,” 9th Wonder said. “This decision was made by Zulu King Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) and Zulu King 9th Wonder. Deal with it.”

it clearly says “honorary member” for jimmy fallon..just like white ppl could help Malcolm X but couldn’t join the nation…..
the zulu nation is welcome to people of all color. stop with your ignorance. Its a social awareness group dedicated to helping the community
Nah, Jimmy Fallon respects us. He’s got The Roots and plenty of Hip Hop acts on his show. This is a good look.
so he bought his way in with his token black band
@ KKKrame – yeah, everyone is dying to get in the elite club of the Zulu Nation.
@KKKrame – no. He has simply used the spotlight thats on him to open a wider audience to many black artists, and hip hop culture in general.
smh why must niggas be the only ones in the planet to accept their enemies with open hands? you don’t see people in germany creating a “awareness group” called nazi nation and letting black people join in
maybe because the zulu nation AREN’T FUCKING NAZIS!!!! peace not violence stop your ignorance
Since when are white people the enemies of the black people anymore? You’re the one being stereotypical and racist calling us the “enemy”…Pathetic, get some education. ‘Cause you are proof that stupid “niggas” are, in fact, not just a stereotype.
Get it right. The Zulu Nation was never about racial division. The N.O.I.? Yeah… The 5% Nation? Due to their philosophies, probably. But Zulu was just about a conglomerate of Hip Hop practitioners promoting the Hip Hop lifestyle. Zulus are everywhere. Even Japan.

i think you are on to something here. i can see some truth in this statement
why is it always ignorant niggas trying to speak on some they dont know
JUST IN!ANOTHER PRETENTIOUS CLIQUE FULL OF POMPOUS PEOPLE MAKIN THE ROUNDS! IN OTHER NEWS:COWSHIT STILL SMELLS!!THATS ALL FOR TODAY!!GOOOOD NIGHT!!
What most people don’t realize is Jimmy Fallon was Farrakhan’s right hand man in NOI, but that was before Jimmy had took his pilgrimage to Mecca and became a 5 percenter.
Man what? HAHA
WTF. your a fuckin retard.
The comments here are entertaining to say the least. What separates REAL HipHoppers from false ones is: a real HipHopper knows there is no color line in HipHop Culture. Furthermore, we are the UNIVERSAL Zulu Nation. ANYBODY that is promoting the four SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES of our Culture, is deserving of props. Far too many of us have long been misguided that HipHop means four physical ELEMENTS: Rapping, Deejaying, Graffiti and Breakdancing (with Knowledge being the 5th and more important). But many of us have been led wrong, because HipHop wasn’t founded as a Culture until a year AFTER the Zulu Nation. Which means: Principles before ANYTHING!
WHICH WAY IZ WEST ALBUM COVER FOR MC EIHT;S NEW ALBUM ON EIHT’S TWITTER PAGE GEAAAH STREIHT UP MENACE IS BACK . AND IT’S THICKER THAN WATER BABY ME AND YOU . CMW 4 LIFE IT’S A COMPTON THANG
stop you bum compton full of fakes
Jimmy Fallon is always making Black jokes. Jimmy Fallon couldn’t name 5 rappers after Chris Rock asked him to name his Top 5. How is Jimmy apart of The Nation?
You’re full of shit. Jimmy Fallon has never made a “black joke”, is promoting more talented hip hop artists per month than most music producers of any color care to, and has been promoting hip hop since he started in show biz, way before it was the powerhouse it is today.
If you think he is just some stupid white boy capitalizing on the current trend… consider Black Thought’s words regarding the man, or ?uestlove’s words… which are a Google search away.
Or… consider that 9th Wonder and Qtip made him a fucking honorary Zulu Nation member.
Peace.
