Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, has spoken openly about his religious challenges, stating that he is still dissatisfied despite converting from Christianity to Islam in search of enlightenment.

In a recent interview with streamer Playboymax, Burna Boy said that the more he examines religious materials in quest of significance, the more confused he becomes.

“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,” he said.

Burna Boy added that his spiritual exploration is still on as well as his search for personal truth.
