Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has revealed that she lost some of her fans after publicly disclosing that she is a Muslim. She recently had her say while speaking with media personality Chude Jideonwo, and fans have been reacting.
Discussing her faith and why she had previously kept her religious identity private, Adunni disclosed that she was initially reluctant to publicly embrace Islam because being openly Muslim in Nollywood is almost forbidden.
The moviestar added that some of her fans went as far as unfollowing her online the moment she announced that she was a Muslim.
His words, “In my line of work, it is almost forbidden for you to publicly say you are a Muslim. You could be looked down upon for doing that. It is just something that I noticed. Islam for me, is not all about outward look. It is what is within.
How you treat others. I came out publicly with my religion because I was tired of keeping it a secret. I have been to different churches. I am not saying Christianity is not a good religion. It is not for me to say.
I am just saying what works for me, is Islam. And I lost some fans for revealing that I am a Muslim. They unfollowed me. Some people even came to my DMs to bit out whatever spirit they thought was within me. Some were praying for me.
A lot of Muslims embraced me. But I really don’t care about that. It is just for me and what works for me.”
