Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, known professionally as Khaid, a Nigerian singer and rapper, recently shared that he embraced Christianity after being raised in a predominantly Muslim environment.

Born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother, Khaid revealed that his father initially encouraged him to attend the mosque during his younger years. However, he eventually transitioned to Christianity due to his aversion to mosque visits.

During a conversation on the Zero Conditions podcast, the 19-year-old artist explained that his parents granted him and his siblings the freedom to choose their own religious beliefs.

In addition to his father, Khaid disclosed that his older sister and younger brother remain devoted Muslims, while the remainder of his family practices Christianity.

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 can choose any religion we want. 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 are Christians.”
