Actress Akuapem Poloo has defended her decision to convert to Islam after series of social media questions by her followers.
According to her, she was not forced to become a Muslim nor is she doing this to attract attention or impress people.
In a video posted on her YouTube page, the actress said that she will maintain her name Rosemond Alade Brown and her newly acquired Islam name.
She intends to also keep her nickname ‘Sexy Poloo’ because despite her covering up as Islam requires of women she still is sexy and will dress accordingly.
“My son is nine years and he is a Muslim. I got pregnant for a Muslim guy in 2012 and gave birth in 2013,that should tell you that I know what I am doing. I have always loved Islam so I am not impressing human beings for anything, I can only impress Allah,” Akuapem Poloo said.
She added that “My mallam who helped me convert told me that I can still keep my full name on social media but I can just add my Muslim name to it. I am still keeping Sexy Poloo. I will cover myself with clothes but I am still sexy.”
Since her announcement, Akuapem Poloo says she has been receiving calls from family and friends either questioning her decision or probing deeper.
She called on people to stop judging her and her posts since converting.
