Nigerian Grammy Award-winning singer, Dami Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has paid a visit to Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, at the Government House.
Naija News reports that in the photos making the rounds online, Burna Boy, who wore a well-tailored dark blue kaftan, was seen standing beside the governor.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner was accompanied by his father, Samuel Ogulu, and music executive, Soso Soberekon.
However, the purpose of the visit has not been disclosed.
This is not the first time Burna Boy has been hosted by a state governor. In 2021, he and his team visited the government house in Port Harcourt during the tenure of former Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy has confirmed that he has converted to Islam.
The claim of Burna Boy’s conversion to Islam had surfaced on social media earlier, sparking widespread reactions and debate among fans and followers of the award-winning artist.
The conversation began after Nigerian socialite and fashion enthusiast, Rahman Jago, shared a video of Burna Boy on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), in which the singer was heard saying “Alhamdulillah,” an Arabic phrase commonly used by Muslims meaning “Praise be to God.”
The short clip quickly gained traction online, with many users questioning whether the frequent use of Islamic expressions by the singer signified a formal change of faith.
Some fans noted that Burna Boy had, on several occasions, used Arabic phrases in his songs and public appearances, fuelling speculation that he may have embraced Islam privately.
Burna Boy confirmed his conversion to Islam from Christianity on Plaueboymax’s livestream where he shared his view about the creation.
The development has continued to generate mixed reactions, with some congratulating the artiste, while others have urged his view about creation.
