When is the hammer gonna fall on this fool? He's part of a group that actively preaches the hatred of whites. Is he still a part owner of the Nets? Is he still a sports agent? I don't hear anything about his beliefs on all the major networks and he wore a piece of bling around his neck at a game that represents his affiliation with the group which believes in this:

Racist ideologyAccording to scholars, including Michael Muhammad Knight who has authored two books The Five Percenters and Why I Am a Five Percenteron the Five-Percent Nation is founded and rooted within racist ideology as Knight also explained in an essay for Vice, "The first lesson I learned from the Five Percent was simple: Fuck white people. Seriously, 'White people are devils.'"[25] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-25) He was quoted in the post as saying, "Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected." [26] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-26) Five-percenters are purported to believe that Black men are physically and intellectually superior as the natural descendants of God, and black men as Gods are the rightful rulers of the world. [27] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-27) Five-Percenters are discouraged from marrying anyone of the white race as doing so would dilute the purity of their blood but the anti-white racism is primarily targeted at white men. [28] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-28) Like, the Nation of Islam, the Five-Percenter ideology promulgates the theory that the white race were created by a black scientist Yakub (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)), who lived, "6,600 years ago," and was responsible for creating the white race to be a, "race of devils". He did this through a form of selective breeding referred to as "grafting", while living on the island of Patmos. [29] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-29)
Michael Muhmmad Knight has stated that, "The Post never balanced my 'Fuck white people' line with my acknowledgment that there were/are actually white Five Percenters, a phenomenon that I had discussed with the writer." [30] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-30)

Some[who? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words)] have said the Five-Percent movement is a conflux of ideologies and practices embraced by rappers seeking popular appeal or "street credit" to sell albums to the audiences of hip hop and rap music. Rappers and black celebrities like Jay Z frequently reference Five-Percent teachings and symbols in lyrics describing the plight of persons in poverty who are forced to join gangs and sell drugs due to the subjugation by so called "white devils". Others[who? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words)] have argued that the Five-Percent is simply a means of manipulating the masses not unlike other religions but more primitive given the recent origins as the Five-Percenters combine racist ideology with the positive message of self reliance achieved through cooperation among blacks to exclude white males for gaining positions of power in societies controlled by the "white devils" where the power structure of the United States and other nations is rooted in racism from slavery and discrimination dating to colonialism and imperialism.[31] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_Nation#cite_note-31)

Back in the 90's, it was common for east coast rappers to affiliate with the 5%. You would think Jay-Z was a smart enough business man to avoid that type of mess. A lot of rappers get involved with crazy religions and cults though.. Probably just wearing it for publicity.
