In a significant and unexpected development, popular Kenyan personality Dj Kezz Kenya, formerly known for her vibrant presence in the gospel music scene, has publicly announced her conversion to Islam.
The announcement, made through a recent Facebook post, included a declaration of faith that marks a profound shift in her spiritual journey.
The news broke via a Facebook post from “Dj Kezz Kenya,” timestamped Friday, July 12, 2025. The post’s caption explicitly states, “Alhamdulillah. We’ve taken our Shahada ❤️🧡 This is the beginning of the most beautiful chapter yet!“
The Shahada is the Islamic declaration of faith, affirming belief in one God (Allah) and the prophethood of Muhammad, making this a clear and definitive statement of conversion.
The accompanying visuals in the Facebook post further underscore the joyous nature of this new beginning. The visuals display two side-by-side images.
In both, a radiant woman, presumably Dj Kezz Kenya herself, is prominently featured on the left, adorned in a pink patterned hijab and a matching pink top.
She beams with a broad smile, conveying evident happiness. Beside her, to the right, is a young girl, also smiling widely and wearing a cream or beige head covering and a dark top.
In the left-hand image, the girl strikes a playful pose with her hands near her chin, while in the right, she energetically makes a ‘rock and roll‘ or ‘shaka’ hand gesture.
Both individuals appear to have intricate henna patterns adorning their hands, adding to the celebratory feel of the images. The background suggests a modern indoor setting, possibly a home, with shelves displaying decorative items.
This announcement represents a notable departure from Dj Kezz Kenya’s previously established public persona within the Christian gospel music industry.
Before her strong association with the gospel, she was recognized as an SDA DJ, skillfully transitioning her musical talents to spread messages of faith. She gained considerable popularity through her work in gospel music, notably collaborating with the highly regarded Msanii Music Group.
Her contributions to the group and other gospel artists have been well-documented, cementing her identity as a dedicated figure in Christian ministry.
While the Facebook post unequivocally announces her conversion, it does not detail the specific reasons or motivations behind this significant spiritual decision.
This development will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion among her followers and the wider Kenyan entertainment community as she embarks on this new chapter.
