Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has opened up about his spiritual evolution.

He revealed that he has converted to Islam.

The “Ye” crooner made the revelation while speaking during a Twitch live session with US streamer PlaqueBoyMax, where he shared details about his upbringing and his eventual shift in faith.

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.

“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.

He added: “It was something that came naturally to me. I just felt a connection and peace”

Naija News reports that the actress and her husband, veteran actor Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Papi Luwe, lost Ayomikun,

After the unfortunate incident, there were speculations about the cause of the youngster’s death.

However, the family’s spokesperson, Yemi Amodu, released a statement clarifying that Ayomikun died after a brief illness in Ibadan and had since been buried.

Amodu said contrary to the claims spreading on social media, Ayomikun did not die from a bathroom accident or any form of domestic mishap.

After weeks of mourning, the thespian took to Instagram to reflect on her healing journey and thanked everyone who supported her through the pain.

She captioned the post, “A new month, a new dawn. The past months have been heavy, but your love, prayers, and condolences have carried me through the storm. Today I rise, stronger, grateful, and ready to embrace my passion again. The screens have missed me… and I’m back, doing what I love most.”

When the news of her son’s death broke, several Nollywood stars, including Dele Odule, Ronke Odusanya, Fausat Balogun, Bimbo Oshin, Ebun Oloyede, Olaiya Igwe and Fali Werepe, visited the couple’s Ibadan home to commiserate with them.

Peju, daughter of the late theatre legend Kola Ogunmola, said she is ready to return to acting.

Popular Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has sparked speculation of an impending divorce from her billionaire husband, Prince Ned Nwoko, following a series of cryptic social media posts amid reports of a deepening marital crisis.

The actress set social media abuzz on Friday after sharing a picture of her new house on Instagram with a caption that read, “I have a roof over my head and the next is divorce.”

Daniels’ statement comes just days after videos surfaced online showing alleged domestic altercations between the couple, claims which Nwoko has publicly denied.

Meanwhile, Ned Nwoko, who has four wives, including Regina Daniels, appeared unbothered by the swirling controversy surrounding their relationship.

During a recent interview on Channels Television on Sunday, October 26, 2025, the politician defended his polygamous lifestyle, describing it as more “balanced” than monogamy.

Speaking on how he manages four wives, the lawmaker compared it to standing on multiple legs, saying that having more than one wife provides better support and stability in life.

He also stated that he feels pity for men who have only one wife, describing such situations as challenging to maintain.

When questioned about the religious aspect of his belief, Nwoko maintained that the Old Testament permits polygamy and said that his decision was based on personal conviction.

He added that he has no regrets about his marital choices and would take the same path again if given the chance.
