Burna Boy: Why I converted from Christianity to Islam
Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star, has revealed a journey that has taken him from Christianity to Islam and beyond, yet left him feeling more “confused”.
The ‘Like To Party’ hitmaker opened up about his ongoing search for spiritual truth during an interview with popular American streamer PlaqueBoyMax.
He disclosed that he was born into a Christian family but later converted to Islam in a dedicated pursuit of the truth.
However, the Grammy-winner admitted that his deep dive into religious texts and history has led him to a state of uncertainty.
“Religion is a controlled mechanism. In all my research, there is always one scientific fact that goes against every book. Everything comes from the workshop of the sun,” he said.
“I am very spiritual. I believe we are creations. If we are creations, there must be a creator. Everyone is coming up with versions that are confusing me.
“That is what your parents believe in. That is what you are born into. I grew up as a Christian, but then I converted to Islam and all types. It is like I have studied it all. I am still out here trying to find what is really going on.
“The more I researched, the more confused I got. This is the problem. All I know is that the truth is there is something up there protecting me. That I am in tune with. That is why when I pray, I feel like I am being heard.”
