Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has revealed the reason behind his conversion from Christianity to Islam, explaining that it was part of his search for spiritual enlightenment and deeper understanding of life.
In a recent interview with streamer Playboymax, Burna Boy said his search for deeper meaning through various religious studies has only left him more confused.
“Growing up, I was a Christian and then I converted to Islam. It’s like I’ve studied it all, but I’m still out here trying to find out what is really going on, you know? The more I research, the more confused I get,” he said.
The ‘City Boys’ crooner added that his spiritual journey was ongoing, as he continued to seek personal truth and understanding beyond the boundaries of organised religion.
This revelation comes months after another Nigerian singer, 9ice, spoke about his own spiritual transformation.
The ‘Gongo Aso’ hitmaker disclosed that he converted to the Ifa traditional religion after suffering a “spiritual attack” that left him bedridden for six months.
In a viral interview with Nancy Isime, 9ice said he wished he had embraced the traditional faith earlier, describing the experience as life-changing.
