B2K

A number of the group's songs were featured on the film's soundtrack album. Bilal is also the name of a neo soul musician who took his stage name from the original Bilal. In the midst of the breakup, Screen Gems's You Got Served, a film starring the members of the group and Omarion's alleged half-brother Marques Houston as breakdancers, went into general release on January 30, 2004, and, hitting #1 at the box office, earned more money than any other film that opened during a Super Bowl weekend. He was known for his beautiful voice for he was the first man to call people to their prayers. Three of the members claimed financial mishandling by Stokes' management company, TUG (The Ultimate Group); the fourth member, Omarion, claimed the allegations were untrue. Muhammad later freed him completely and appointed him as muezzin. In January 2004, Chris Stokes announced that the group had broken up. Abu Bakr, upon witnessing this torture, bought Bilal from Umayya so that Bilal could practice Islam freely.

Mario and Nick Cannon were also performers on The Scream Team Tour.. Umayya would have Bilal laid in the scorching sand in the desert, during the hottest hours of the day, with heavy rocks placed on his chest to prevent him from moving. In addition to that, they were featured on the soundtrack album for MGM's film Barbershop and headlined The Scream Team Tour, their third, in 2003. When Umayya learned of his slave's conversion, he decided to torture Bilal. Their second (and final) regular studio album, Pandemonium!, was released in December of the same year, and garned the hit singles "Bump Bump Bump" and "Girlfriend." The group was featured regularly on the covers of teen magazines such as Right On and Word Up, and released a Christmas album in-between their regular two albums intitled Santa Hooked Me Up. When he heard Muhammad preaching he decided to convert to Islam. Even though they were newcomers to the industry, their first LP, 2002's B2K, became a instant hit. He was a slave owned by Umayya.

B2K was an African-American R&B boy band, founded and managed by music producer Chris Stokes in 2001 and active until 2004, that was one of the most popular R&B acts of the early 2000s. In Muslim tradition, Bilal ibn Rabah was an Abyssinian who Muhammad chose as his muezzin, and was the first black convert to Islam.
