During a break in the radio interview, the Minister reiterated that peace could only be established if he listened to both sides. He explained to the rapper that he was about to sit down with Ja, and would appreciate, at some point, to sit down with him as well. No date was established but there is some agreement that they will meet. The leader of the Nation of Islam opened his home to conduct the interview with Ja, which actually sounds more like an intimate conversation. Excerpts will air simultaneously on 85 urban Clear Channel stations across the country.
