Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Burna Boy (real name Damini Ogulu), has given fans a rare glimpse into his personal spiritual journey, admitting that he’s still searching for fulfillment despite exploring multiple faiths.
In a recent chat with streamer Playboymax, the Afrobeats superstar revealed that he grew up as a Christian before later converting to Islam in his quest for deeper understanding. However, according to him, the more he studies religious texts, the more questions he seems to have.
“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,” Burna Boy said.
The “City Boys” crooner admitted that his spiritual exploration is ongoing, as he continues to search for his own version of truth and enlightenment.
Interestingly, Burna Boy isn’t the only Nigerian artist to open up about faith struggles. A few months ago, singer 9ice shared a similar story, revealing that he embraced the Ifa religion after a severe spiritual attack that left him bedridden for six months. In that viral interview with Nancy Isime, 9ice confessed that he wished he had begun practicing Ifa much earlier in his life.
Both stories highlight how Nigerian entertainers are increasingly opening up about their personal beliefs, challenging stereotypes, and exploring spirituality beyond conventional boundaries.
