Grammy Winner Burna Boy Embraces Islam, Shares Spiritual Insights

• Burna Boy, the Nigerian Grammy-winning Afrofusion artist, is rumored to have converted to Islam.
• The speculation gained traction on social media after a clip was shared by Nigerian socialite Rahman Jago.
• In the clip, Burna Boy is heard saying “Alhamdulillah,” which translates to “Praise be to God” in Arabic.

Nigerian Grammy-winning Afrofusion star Burna Boy has reportedly embraced Islam, a claim that has stirred widespread discussion across social media.

The conversation gained momentum after Nigerian socialite and fashion influencer Rahman Jago shared a clip of Burna Boy on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), in which the singer is heard saying “Alhamdulillah,” an Arabic expression meaning “Praise be to God.”

The short video quickly went viral, prompting fans to speculate whether Burna Boy’s frequent use of Islamic phrases in public and in his music hinted at a formal change in faith. Observers noted that the artist has occasionally included Arabic expressions in his songs and appearances, adding fuel to the rumors.

Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad also commented when asked about the reports on 𝕏. He wrote, “Some people close to him said he converted to Islam, but there has been no official confirmation directly from him yet,” indicating that while insiders were sharing the news, Burna Boy had not publicly addressed it at the time.

Rahman Jago later returned to the discussion with a firm statement, declaring, “He converted. He is now a Muslim.”

Burna Boy subsequently confirmed his conversion from Christianity to Islam during a livestream on Plaueboymax, where he also shared his perspective on creation.

The announcement has elicited mixed reactions online, with many fans offering congratulations while others continue to discuss his views on faith and spirituality.

In other news… A lady has called for feminism to be embraced with the same dedication and discipline typically associated with religion.
In a video circulating online, she voiced her frustration over what she sees as a lack of urgency and commitment among women when it comes to addressing societal challenges that impact them.
She suggested that feminism should be approached as a structured, daily practice, much like religious rituals, to drive real and lasting change.
The speaker highlighted the importance of a united and determined effort and revealed that her social media presence would now center primarily on feminist issues. She also warned that anyone engaging negatively with her content would be blocked.
She said …
“I watched a video of a beauty saying we need to start practicing feminism as a religion. Like we are not @ngry enough and we need to start practicing feminism as a religion. The same way they indoctrinated religion into us. Okay, yes, you have to pray five times daily. You have to do this. You shouldn’t do this as a Christian. That’s the same way we need to start practicing feminism. Because if we do not take it as a religion, if we do not start practicing it, it means we are not angry enough. We are not b!tter enough. We are not @ngry enough for all these things or with all these things that are literally happening in today’s society and me personally I’m ready to start practicing feminism as a religion everything you are going to be getting on my page from now henceforth is about feminism and you know you are going to come with any b@d energy I’m going to block your straight. I don’t even have time I’m going to block you…”
