Nation Of Islam, Jermaine On The Outs With Jacko

The New York Daily News reports Leonard Muhammad of the Nation of Islam did not figure in the decision by Michael Jackson to replace his attorneys Mark Geragos and Benjamin Brafman with Thomas Mesereau, a source close to the Jackson camp said. “In fact, Muhammad’s probably on his way out of the inner circle,” the source said. Also, Jackson has told Muhammad’s security detail to beat it and has hired a private security firm to watch his back, the source said. Jackson’s brother Jermaine also appears to be on the outs.
