Nation of Gods and Earths (commonly known as the Five-Percenters) was
founded in 1964 by Clarence "Puddin'" Smith, who became Clarence 13X
and is now known as Father Allah. Malcolm X had thrown him out of the
Nation of Islam, allegedly because he liked to throw dice--though
another story says that Clarence was removed for questioning Master
Fard's divinity. [more]
