Lil Jon has made quite a few changes in his life lately, and one of those changes included a conversion to Islam.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook<\/a> video posted on Friday (March 15), the \u201cTurn Down For What!\u201d rapp<\/a>er can be seen taking the shahada (that is, the Muslim declaration of faith) at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, CA.<\/p>\n

Lil Jon took the shahada during the month of Ramadan, which takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is a month marked by fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.<\/p>\n

Check out the video below.<\/p>\n

HipHopDX<\/em> has reached out to the mosque, and to Lil Jon\u2019s publicist, for a statement.<\/p>\n

Last month, in an interview with\u00a0XXL<\/a><\/em>\u00a0following his recent appearance at\u00a0Usher\u2019s Super Bowl halftime show, the crunk legend shed light on his latest project, which is called Total Meditation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jon explained how divorcing his wife and turning 50 \u2014 both of which happened in the last few years \u2014 led him down a different path, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always kind of meditated a little bit. But when I turned 50, started going through a lot of things,\u201d he said before dropping the bombshell news<\/a> that he and his wife are no longer together. \u201cStarted going through a divorce, I\u2019m separated now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd all the emotions from the divorce and all that process was really getting to me. So, I found I had to start to go within to calm myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

After news of his divorce broke, a rep for Lil Jon told\u00a0PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>: \u201cNearly two years ago, Lil Jon and his wife Nicole decided to separate. This is an amicable split, and while Lil Jon is a public figure, his family matters will remain private at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former couple tied the knot back in 2004 and have a son named Nathan who is now 26. They got married six years after first meeting and had largely kept their relationship out of the public eye.<\/p>\n

As for his guided meditation album,\u00a0news of Lil Jon\u2019s drastic sonic (and spiritual) direction change emerged earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The 10-track project, which arrived on February 16, aims to help listeners \u201crelieve anxiety, boost focus and find peace,\u201d Jon told XXL<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The initial announcement caught fans by surprise, with some likening it to\u00a0Andr\u00e9 3000\u2019s\u00a0New Blue Sun<\/em>, which found the\u00a0OutKast\u00a0luminary swapping the bars for ambient flute instrumentals.<\/p>\n

\u201cDAWG WHAT IS IT WITH ICONIC RAPPERS AND MEDITATION ALBUMS NOWADAYS LMAO. FIRST ANDRE 3000 NOW LIL JON WHAT IS GOING ON,\u201d one person\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0said<\/a>: \u201cOkay but let\u2019s get into Black men doing mindfulness work! First 3K and now Lil Jon? Will be putting this in my rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
