British rapper Central Cee has revealed a significant personal milestone, announcing that he has embraced Islam.
The UK drill star, born Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, shared the news during a recent livestream, surprising many of his fans with the revelation.
Speaking about his spiritual journey, the Band 4 Band artist explained that his conversion also involved a change to his identity. “I just changed my name and took my shahada, I am a Muslim now,” he stated, as friends around him offered their congratulations.
Before this announcement, Central Cee had kept his religious beliefs private, never publicly identifying with a particular faith. His confession now provides fans with a rare glimpse into the personal life of the rapper, who is usually recognized for his bold lyrics and fashion-forward image.
Central Cee was born on June 4, 1998, in London to an English mother and a father of Guyanese and Chinese heritage. Following his parents’ separation when he was seven, he was raised by his mother alongside two younger brothers in Shepherd’s Bush.
He began exploring music at a young age, making his first appearance in 2014 on the Fire in the Streets series. By January 2015, he had featured on the Ain’t On Nuttin Remix alongside J Hus and other artists, steadily building his presence in the scene.
His breakthrough came in 2020 with the single Day in the Life, which propelled him into the spotlight and established him as a rising force in the UK drill scene. Since then, Central Cee has become one of the genre’s most prominent figures, earning a dedicated following across Europe, Africa, and beyond.
