LONDON--A niece of Osama bin Laden is launching a career as a pop singer after rejecting her Muslim background and throwing herself into the London party scene.
Waffa bin Laden, whose father Yeslam is a brother of the world's most wanted man, hopes to release a single by the end of the year after being told that she has the looks and voice to become a star.
She has been working on a demo tape and reportedly has been advised on her musical ambitions by acclaimed rap artist Wyclef Jean.
Bin Laden, 26, has become a fixture on the London club scene since moving here six months ago.
Bin Laden, who trained as a lawyer in America, dissociated herself from her notorious uncle long before the Sept. 11 attacks. At the time, she was living less than a mile from the World Trade Center.
I guess name recognition is still worth something...
