British rapper Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, popularly known as Central Cee, has revealed his conversion to Islam.
The Band 4 Band crooner announced during a recent livestream, where he disclosed that he has also changed his name after taking the Shahada (the Islamic declaration of faith).

“I just changed my name and took my Shahada. I am a Muslim now,” he said, as his friends congratulated him in the video.
Before this revelation, Central Cee had not publicly identified with any particular religion.
Born on June 4, 1998, in London to an English mother and a father of Guyanese and Chinese heritage, the rapper grew up in Shepherd’s Bush with his mother and two younger brothers after his parents separated when he was seven.
Central Cee began his music journey with an appearance on the now-deleted Fire in the Streets series in 2014. He later featured on the Ain’t On Nuttin Remix alongside J Hus and others in January 2015.
He rose to prominence with his breakout single Day in the Life, released on June 14, 2020, and has since become one of the leading figures in the UK drill scene.
