The singer admitted that he was born into a Christian home but found peace in his new belief
His revelation on a US live stream has left fans reflecting on religion, fame, and identity.
Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has opened up about his spiritual evolution.
He revealed that he has converted to Islam.
The “Ye” crooner made the revelation while speaking during a Twitch live session with US streamer PlaqueBoyMax, where he shared details about his upbringing and his eventual shift in faith.
Burna Boy, who recently bought his best friend a Lamborghini, disclosed that he was raised in a devout Christian household and followed the faith because his parents were strong believers
However, as he grew older and began exploring life on his own terms, he developed a curiosity about religion that led him on a journey of discovery.
“I was born into Christianity because that’s what my parents practiced. But as I got older, I started to research more about life and faith. That was when I found Islam.”
The singer said he didn’t stumble into the decision out of rebellion but from genuine conviction.
He added: “It was something that came naturally to me. I just felt a connection and peace”
