Christian rapper John Gabbana has raised concerns about the motivations behind recent celebrity conversions to Islam.
On Friday (December 29), the rapper formerly known as Boonk Gang — who converted to Christianity several years ago — took to Instagram in an attempt to educate viewers on the distinctions between the two religions and express his belief that Christianity is “the true world religion.”
“I’m starting to see celebrities convert to Islam like it’s a trend,” he began. “It’s cool to be Muslim now.”
“I’m curious on one thing. What’s drawing y’all to Islam?” he continued, firing off an inquiry. “Do y’all know there’s no miraculous information that Mohammed was even a prophet? He didn’t even write the Koran.”
“Check this out: the Koran was gathered and put together 600 years after the events of Christianity. Now, why would we take a document written 600 years later to tell us what happened to Jesus when we have eyewitness testimonies to tell us what happened to Jesus?” he asked rhetorically.
“It’s called the New Testament. It’s in your Bible. And the Muslim would claim the Bible is corrupt except where it helps their theology. Islam is not the true world religion. Christianity is.”
Watch the video below:
“Following Jesus FR comes w real persecution. I ain’t seen nun of dese ppl get as much hate and rejection as I do for sharing one’s faith,” he wrote alongside the video clip.
In a follow-up post, Gabbana, who received backlash for his initial comments due to what fans dubbed a lack of open-mindedness, explained he did his research and more importantly “had a supernatural encounter with God” before landing on Christianity.
“Instead of commenting foolishness under my post, grab you a pen n paper and start taking notes. U can learn a lot from watching n observing, stop always tryna be da one heard. Ya digg,” the caption reads.
Gabbana joins a growing list of celebrities to publicly speak about their faith. Earlier this month, Daddy Yankee — who has been moving crowds through his music for decades — announced he will be devoting his life to Christianity moving forward.
“Family: This day for me, is the most important day in my life,” he wrote on Instagram. “tonight I recognize and am not ashamed to tell the whole world that Christ lives in me and that I will live for him. This is the end of one chapter and the beginning of a brand new one.”
He then quoted Matthew 16: 26 from the New Testament, writing: “For what good is it for a man to gain the whole world, if he loses his life? Or how much can a man pay for his life?
“For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father and with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to what he has done.”
If you followed this man before, or now. Astaghfirullah.
So a face tattooed clown try to school anybody about a religion that he doesn’t even know. Fuck this piece of shit.
Not having your face tattooed doesn’t make you any more devout, there’s plenty of terrible people out there without face tatoos. I dont try to convert anybody from their own religion but he has a point. There is a trend for the last few years of rappers claiming they Muslim to be edgy, while living haram lives. I won’t mention names but some examples are rappers on drugs while saying happy Eid, others posting about Ramadan on the gram but secretly calling up other men to share their partner in intercourse. The pointI believe he’s making is that isn’t real for most, they’re simply saying this stuff for clout.
If this idiot would be Christian for real he knew, even the Pope declared Muslims and Christians worship the same God, meanwhile in Islam it was never a question. Moreover this alleged Christian is cursing in his songs, calling his so-called brothers n****s. Very religious. Just like naming yourself after a luxury fashion designer or posing with a gun. he’s just another hypocrite with no brain. Fuck off.
Christianity is the only true religion 100% and I’m keeping it Christian till the death of me… Jesus perform so many miracles and thousands of people witness the miracles and those who call on Jesus Christ with faith he never failed them and just of a sudden somebody just came from somewhere after 600 years of life of Jesus Christ and claimed to be a prophet and y’all believe in him… common people think twice and do your research,how can you believe in a religion that doesn’t tolerate and doesn’t forgive?

Where in the Bible did Jesus say he was a Christian? The Holy Quran says that Jesus is the Messiah son of Mary. Too much ignorance coming from people who know nothing of either religion

Jesus wasn’t a Christian
He ain’t lying… although he should try to get rid of the tattoos.
Say what you want about Muslims but I haven’t had one harass me about becoming one. There is no one world religion, obviously. If people want to be Muslim or whatever, that’s none of my business. It’s none of his either, no matter what his own unproven “holy” text and Slave Master’s Religion tells him.
Says the idiot who worships a cabbage.
To really understand and grasp why people convert to Islam, you have, must read the Quran. Otherwise, it’s only guessing and speculating. And I think, few people have courage to read the Quran. Either way, it’s a click away: http://www.CoreQuran.com

Got a point – there’s definitely some clout chasing going on.
