The singer and comedian addressed a fan’s question about his faith, explaining that he identifies as both Muslim and Christian.
Lawal Nasiru, popularly known as Nasboi, said his mixed religious identity stems from his family background: his father is a Yoruba Muslim, and his mother is a Christian from Warri. He added that his upbringing—being born and raised in Port Harcourt, plus attending university in Uyo—allows him to remain impartial when it comes to religious or tribal disputes.
He shared on his X page:
“My papa Yoruba, my mama Warri. My papa Muslim, my mama Christian.
I was born and raised in Port Harcourt. I studied at the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom. This is why I can never relate to tribalism or all the religious agendas.”
When asked about his religion directly, he responded:
“I am Christmus [both Christian and Muslim].”
His stance drew criticism from some, with several accusing him of being “confused.”
