Rising artiste, Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, widely known as Khaid, he spoken about how he switched from being a Muslim to being a Christian against his father’s wish.
Khaid during a recent interview on the Zero Conditions podcast, he revealed that that his Dad was a Muslim while his mother was a Christian.
He noted that he chose to become a Christian because he felt connected more to the religion than the Muslim religion.
Khaid claims that he eventually converted to Christianity because he disliked visiting to mosques, and that his father pushed him to do so when he was younger.
Khaid said, “I was a Muslim before because my dad was a Muslim and my mum was a Christian. So, I just felt the connection to Christianity more. Right from time I didn’t like going to the mosque actually. My dad forced me. But my parents were free-minded people.
“They told my siblings and I that we could choose any religion we wanted. But we live among Muslims and my dad doesn’t want it to seem like he doesn’t have control over his children so he used to force me to go to the mosque.
“At that time, I was trying to please him so I was going to mosque. But after some time, I switched and started going to church. My elder sister and younger brother are Muslims. But me and the rest of the five (sic) are Christians.”
