*Former Bad Boy Records artist Loon (born Chauncey Hawkins, but who is now known as Amir Junaid Muhadith after his conversion to Islam) was arrested in Belgium and will be extradited to the United States to face drug charges, according to MTV News.
It seems that Loon “knowingly and intentionally” possessed with intent to distribute at least one kilogram of heroin between early 2006 and September 2008 in North Carolina.
A copy of indictment surfaced on blog site DDotOmen.com on Friday.
Loon began his career as a rapper in Ma$e’s Harlem World group, who released their gold-selling debut The Movement in 1999. In 2003 Loon released his solo self-titled debut on the back of his Mario Winans-featured single “Down for Me.”
In 2004 he was arrested and charged with attempted murder after a security guard was stabbed during a fight at The House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA. However Loon was never convicted of the crime.

Ok, is it just me or does this sound like some trumped up bullshit?? How exactly is one charged with possession with intent to distribute at least one kilogram of heroin between early 2006 and September 2008? I mean is there proof, are there specific dates? And it’s not like he was hiding why now?
Sounds like he pissed someone off.
As soon as I saw the headline, I thought about the same thing. Buju Banton, Jimmy Rosemond, …
“one kilogram of heroin between early 2006 and September 2008?!”
That’s like saying that you slanging one and a half ounce of powder a month. Now what type a trafficker is that? Not even a low level user could survive on that.
Yeah, it’s bullshit.
“Belgium officials invoked the Patriot Act to arrest the rapper, whose real name is Chauncey Hawkins. Loon, who now goes by Amir Junaid Muhadith, was heading to Brussels for a lecture at the Islamic and Cultural Centre of Belgium when he was apprehended.”
Not the fucking Patriot Act again. The war on terror is now becoming like the war on drugs for blacks.
Either they get you on terrorism charge or trumped up drug charge. Arabs don’t even have to worry anymore.
The fucking war on the drugs has always been a war on black people. All surveys show that blacks do not use drugs at a higher rate than other races, but black men were twelve times more likely to be arrested for drugs.
A recent survey even shows black teens using drugs and alcohol at a lower rate than whites and Hispanics, but in the 1990s, the juvenile black drug arrest rate was nearly three times that of whites, and in 2008 it remained almost double.
This is a fucking shame when you consider that we now have a black president and black attorney general.
He was a bad boy (Ex-Bad boy), now he is a good boy (Muslim). Why charge him now? When he is already changed.
Maybe if this didn’t happen 2 him, worse would have happen. Allah has a way of designing everybody’s tests of faith. May this even purify him more in the sight of ALLAH, may ALLAH in His mercy grant him patience and make him and us believers till the end of time. aamin
