In a Facebook update on Tuesday, August 13, the artist, who embraced Islam last week, emphasized that she has no plans to abandon her musical talent.
She also mentioned that if the harassment persists, she might reconsider her new faith.
“I didn’t become a Muslim to be threatened or harassed. The Malam that recited kalimatu shahada for me, didn’t tell me I’d quit music. If he had told me, I wouldn’t convert because God gave me this talent and I so much love it,” she wrote.
“I sing songs that inspire people.
“If you all keep coming for me or tryna frustrate me for coming into the religion, I’ll leave peacefully
“Y’all won’t be in your house committing sins and com on FB to judge me
“I want peace, not what you are giving me now
“I wasn’t forced into the religion, I could leave if my peace and sanity is at risk.”
