Ramadan: Kizz Daniel, Seyi Vibez, 8 Other Celebrities You Didn’t Expect To Be Fasting

 

The glamour of the showbiz industry often creates an illusion that blinds fans to the spiritual lives of their favourite celebrities. Many entertainers hide behind a façade, portraying themselves as ‘Baddies’ through their controversial lyrics, dressing and onscreen performances. From Naira Marley, Bimbo Ademoye to Seyi Vibes, OLAITAN GANIU lists ten Nigerian celebrities with Muslim roots and are expected to observe the Ramadan fast.

Kizz Daniel
Daniel is a biblical name, but the Nigerian hitmaker and songwriter Kizz Daniel presents a different case. Born Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, the vocalist stirred up a significant reaction on social media few years ago when he revealed that he is a faifhtul Muslim. He stated that his Islamic name is Dhikrullahi. 

Seyi Vibez
Rhymer Seyi Vibez was raised as a Muslim by his parents. Despite his ‘street’ lifestyle, a clip recently surfaced online showing the 24-year-old entertainer at a mosque to observ Salat prayer. Seyi, who won the ‘Best Street-Hop Artiste’ award at the 16th Headies in 2023, faced backlash from the Muslim community after he used a Quranic verse as an intro in one of his music videos.

Naira Marley
Azeez Fashola, famously known as Naira Marley is renowned for his energetic dance moves and explicit lyrics. However, since the beginning of Ramadan, he has been showcasing a different side of himself to the public. The leader of the Marlian Movement frequently shares Quranic verses and inspirational quotes on his social media pages.
“If you want this to be your best Ramadan, start now. It’s not too late. It’s not about being perfect, but about giving your best,” he advised his followers.

Bimbo Ademoye
Though the name Bimbo Aisha may not ring a bell. But with the mention of Bimbo Ademoye, one will know she’s a film star.
Raised by her father after her mother separated the marriage when she was two years old. The light-skinned actress grew up as a practicing Muslim.
