<p>You might say, ?Daddy wouldn?t be proud? in the case of Malikah Shabazz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Thursday, authorities <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/queens/malcolm_girl_jailed_a6h7yKHAWPGJ5IIlDR1z7L?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reported</a> that Shabazz, <a href="http://www.bet.com/news/national/2011/07/25/malcolm-x-case-closed.html" target="_blank">Malcolm X?s</a> daughter, was being held without bail after violating the terms of her probation on an identity-theft conviction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In July, Shabazz <a href="http://www.bet.com/news/national/2011/06/09/malcolm-x-s-daughter-pleads-guilty-to-theft.html" target="_blank">received</a> a sentence of five years of probation for stealing the identity of 70-year-old, Khaula Bakr, and racking up more than $55,000 of debt in the family friend?s name. Bakr?s late husband was one of the civil rights activist?s bodyguards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shabazz promised to make monthly restitution payments of $1,229 for 50 months as a part of her plea agreement, but the probation department learned that she has not made any payments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Additionally, the 46-year-old is accused of traveling outside of New York and living in St. Albans, Vermont, a violation of her probation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She will appear in front of a New York City judge on Jan. 6.</p>
