Rahman Jago, a socialite and associate of Grammy-winning singer, Burna Boy, has confirmed that the singer has converted to Islam.
Burna Boy, who comes from a Christian background, sparked reports of his conversion to Islam after stating in a podcast a few weeks ago that he embraced Islam “at some point’ in pursuit of truth.
His religion has remained a subject of speculations since the podcast interview.
Recently, his associate Rahman Jago shared a video of Burna Boy praising Allah with himself and other men in what looked like a bar, on his X handle with the caption, “Allahu Akbar.”
Bashir Ahmad, former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, reposted the video, stating that the singer “seen so so happy” and urging Allah the make his journey with Islam easy for him.
Taking to the comments section, a curious fan asked Ahmad if the singer has truly converted to Islam. Ahmad responded that some of Burna Boy’s close associate stated that he converted but the singer is yet to confirm the report.
Quoting the curious fan, Rahman Jago stated that Burna Boy has now converted to Islam and he is now a Muslim.
“He converted. He is now a Muslim,” Jago wrote.
