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.

Afrobeats singer, Mr Real has criticised his colleagues and Nigerian music fans for releasing new music and going to clubs despite the escalating insecurity in the country.

Speaking in a recent video broadcast, the Legbegbe crooner accused his fellow musicians of being insensitive for continuing to release music despite the security situation in the country.

Mr Real explained that he has been unable to drop new music due to the current mood of the nation.

He said, “I wake up to terrible news everyday. I am even scared to drop songs because of the terrible things happening in Nigeria. Artists who are releasing songs are trying because I don’t know the kind of mind they have. How do some artists do it?

“This country is burning. People are dying. Some individuals have turned insecurity to business and we still go to club. That is the problem.

“You can argue that you have your own life to life. I also can’t deny that I don’t club or enjoy my life. But can’t you see that it is not normal? It is like we are under a spell to be docile no matter how worse things get. Is it normal?”
