Nigerian Afrobeats musician Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has opened out about his journey from Christianity to Islam, claiming that despite his theological investigation, he remains unclear about spiritual reality.
The Grammy-winning singer clarified in an interview with Plaqueboymax that he was brought up as a Christian merely because of his parents’ faith and the surroundings in which he was raised.
Burna Boy stated he eventually made a conscious decision to accept Islam and went on exploring other religious beliefs in search of deeper understanding.
However, he admitted that his quest has only led him to be more confused about the truth.
“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.
“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.”
