Burna Boy, who recently bought his best friend a Lamborghini, disclosed that he was raised in a devout Christian household and followed the faith because his parents were strong believers.
However, as he grew older and began exploring life on his own terms, he developed a curiosity about religion that led him on a journey of discovery.
Burna Boy stated:
“I was born into Christianity because that’s what my parents practiced. But as I got older, I started to research more about life and faith. That was when I found Islam.”
The singer said he didn’t stumble into the decision out of rebellion but from genuine conviction.
