Grammy-winning Afrobeat star, Burna Boy, has opened up about his spiritual journey, revealing that despite converting from Christianity to Islam and studying several religions, he still feels uncertain about his faith.
In a recent interview, the artist — born Damini Ogulu — said he was raised as a Christian simply because it was the faith of his parents and the environment in which he grew up.
He explained that he later made a personal decision to embrace Islam, before going on to explore different belief systems in search of deeper understanding.
Burna Boy said: “Of course, because that’s what your parents believe and that’s what you were born into. 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.”
The ‘African Giant’ crooner, known for blending Afrobeat with global influences, has previously spoken about spirituality and self-discovery in his music and interviews.
