Millions follow Christianity to find their life’s answers. It’s one of South Africa’s dominant religions, with an estimated 80% of its population identifying as Christians. People don’t always side with their parents’ religion – and everyone chooses their own way, finding what resonates with them.

What about famous celebs who have converted their faith?

Blac Chyna, Keenan “AKA” Forbes, and Neo Maema have all said their lives brought them closer to faith.

Here’s a closer look at some international (and local) celebs who converted to Christianity.

BLAC CHYNA
Blac Chyna is an American actress and pornographic film star.

She was born in 1988, and made her debut in several music videos. She achieved widespread fame after appearing in Kanye West’s music video ‘Monster’ as a stunt double to Nicki Minaj.

Chyna also joined rapper Tyga on tour.

She converted to Christianity in 2023, turning back to her former faith, according to news reports.

Chyna deleted her OnlyFans account and started removing her tattoos.

Little Richard isn’t a local South African artist, but he has been an inspiration for many South African artists.

His religious experience happened in 1957.

After he “saw God” on stage, Little Richard converted to Christianity – and started giving sermons.
