Video clips of Afro-pop artist Deus Ndugwa, widely known as Grenade Official, officially converting to Islam have been making rounds on social media hence raising alot of questions from his fans.
The Nkuloga singer reportedly took his Shahadah (the Islamic declaration of faith) in London, United Kingdom, where he recently relocated. The conversion, which took place during the ongoing holy month of Ramadan, was confirmed by the singer himself when he posted videos on his socials.
Following his transition from Christianity, the singer has adopted the name Ali Daawa (sometimes styled as Ali Da’wa). Speaking on his spiritual shift, the artist said that this wasn’t a sudden whim but a culmination of a long search for emotional stability.
While the singer emphasizes a spiritual awakening, several entertainment outlets, have hinted that his UK-based girlfriend may have played a significant role in the decision. Insiders suggest that Ali Daawa’s commitment to his new relationship and his desire to build a future in the UK influenced his willingness to embrace the Islamic faith.
