Abdulrasheed Bello, also known as JJC Skillz, a Nigerian rapper and producer, has returned to Islam, his father’s religion.
The estranged husband of popular actress turned politician Funke Akindele made the news on his Instagram page in a series of images followed by an interview with an Islamic online platform, Muslims News.
JJC Skills, who told how he was born into an Islamic family, but never practised it as he decided to follow his mother’s faith, stated, “I was lost, but now I’m found, I ask you for your pardon and well-being in this world and the next.

“O Allah, veil my weaknesses, set at ease my dismay, and preserve me from the front and behind and on my right and my left and from above as I take refuge with you lest I be swallowed up by the earth.”
Speaking on an Islamic online site, the musician declared that embracing Islam was God’s plan for him.
“I was born a Muslim – by name AbdurRasheed. My father, Bello, is a Muslim but my mother is a Christian. Then I used to go Islamiyah but all I remembered was being beaten. They used to scare us with hellfire, so I never practised. It’s God’s design that I will return to Islam. I thank Allah for sparing my life”, he maintained.
