“My walk with God didn’t begin in church, and it didn’t end there. I’ve been walking a spiritual journey for years, asking hard questions, loving Jesus, studying faiths, and letting God speak in unexpected places. My choice to follow the Islamic path isn’t sudden, it’s sacred. It’s honest. It’s mine. I honor where I’ve been, and I honor where I’m going. Faith isn’t a box. It’s a calling. And I still answer.”
Her revelation sparked a frenzy on social media, with netizens flooding her comment section to share mixed reactions.
Some congratulated her for following her heart, while others expressed surprise at the drastic shift in her spiritual path.

Speaking exclusively to TUKO.co.ke, Reverend Sarah Muli, a theologian and religious studies lecturer, shared her professional perspective on DJ Kezz’s spiritual transition from Christianity to Islam.
Muli acknowledged that spiritual evolution is a deeply human experience, often shaped by personal trials, intellectual curiosity, and cultural exposure.
"Faith transitions, though controversial in public figures, are rooted in deep inner conviction. DJ Kezz's move is not a betrayal of her past, but a continuation of her spiritual search. Her statement reflects maturity, recognising that God’s voice can echo beyond denominational walls. We should allow grace and understanding to accompany her on this path," she told TUKO.co.ke.
Here are some reactions from her fans:

"The moment you find yourself explaining more then it means you're guilty... you owe no one an explanation except God ... may peace be with you."
Leonard Langat K:
"Next try Buddhism...you might discover that's the destination you were seeking! All in all I wish you peace and fulfilment."
Miriam Kemunto Onsongo:
"Haina manual, be where your spirit is fulfilled. But again, look into your mental health with a professional."
Adams Bakasa:
"My dear sister Kezz. Don’t play cards with your salvation. Read Jeremiah 6 : 16. May God help you find your way back to Him. Otherwise, praying for you."
Felix Omondi:
"We are christians simply because we found ourselves in Kenya and we happened to have been colonized by Europeans,if by any chance we would have been colonized by Arabs or Indians,we would be talking of something different...let her be."
Rujjumba Ivan:
"I am and will still be a Christian because Jesus said, He is the way, the life and truth. That no one will go to the Father but thru Him only."
Alfred Toroitich:
"Life is about choices and everyone got to make choices however hard they are. In life we just look for happiness whether in Christianity,Islam , Buddhism etc at last we are all human beings. And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?"
