Celebrity singer Omah Lay, has opened up on how he almost converted to Islam despite growing up in the church.

He said he doesnt care about religion anymore but believes in the existence of God.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Wunmi Bello, Omah Lay said: As soon as I made money, I just switched; I just believed in God and became more human than religious. I dont just enjoy religion anymore.

I grew up in a Christian home. I spent a lot of time in church. And at some point, I was going to convert to Islam. But now Im at the point where its just me and God. Not religion. Because I really dont know anything about religion. Thats the problem. These holy books and what everybody is saying, I know it sounds true but these are just books that I can not find evidence that this was written by God or his servants.

So, I just feel like I dont know anything in as much as I know the bible, Jesus and Allah. But at the end, I dont have evidence. The only evidence I have is that theres a God who is moving me. I know that there must be something thats somewhere thats in charge of this whole thing. I believe its God. (The Nation)
