Moneyed Muslims
Speaking during a candid interview with Alex Mwakideu on his I Wish I Knew podcast, the super-charged entertainer revealed money played a major role in his conversion.
According to Cassypool, he converted to Islam by mere chance.
The entertainer narrated how a Muslim client who was supposed to pay him asked him to accompany him to the mosque, where he would handover the money after prayers.
Since, he cared too much about the money, he was forced to follow him to the mosque where he not only prayed but also used the chance to convert.
“You know always wanted to convert but I was not ready. Until one day a person who wanted to give me money asked me to follow him to the mosque. I did not want him to go alone because he could have changed his mind about giving me the money, so had to follow him to the mosque. While there, the Imam heard I was around and asked if I could convert. I said yes and that is how I converted to Islam,” Cassypool revealed.
According to the social media commentator, he had earlier envied the life of his rich Islam client and wanted to emulate him.
“Had seen how my friend Mohammed who is rich leads his life. He was rich yet he kept prayers first. This really inspired me. Someone suggested I should convert to Islam but I was hesitant but the day I followed him to the mosque is when I decided to join him,” he said.
Cassypool added that celebrities practicing Islam messaged him after learning of his conversion, with many congratulating and sending him money.
He stated that the money he received from people welcoming him to Islam exceeded Sh 500,000.
