LOS ANGELES (AP) — Members of the Nation of Islam have begun playing a role in Michael Jackson's affairs, the Associated Press has learned, although the controversial group denies having any official part in the pop star's life.
Sources close to the Jackson camp, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP that Nation of Islam members have handled security at the singer's Neverland ranch and have begun taking over some of his business affairs since he was accused of committing lewd acts on a child.
The sources have been involved in Jackson's business affairs for at least a year, and each independently provided the details concerning the Nation of Islam links to the singer.
