Popular comedian, Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel, widely known as Shank Comics, recently shared a humorous yet heartfelt story about how his father transitioned from Islam to Christianity.
This revelation came during a conversation with a fan he encountered in the United States, who initially assumed that Shank was Muslim like himself.
During the exchange, Shank clarified that despite having a Muslim name, Saheed, he is a Christian. He also revealed that his father, who was originally a Muslim, converted to Christianity under unusual circumstances.
According to Shank, his father converted on a particular day when he was extremely hungry and was given food by a church. This act of kindness led his father to embrace Christianity.
Shank candidly recounted the story, saying:
“My daddy was a Muslim. Then there was one time he was fucking hungry then one church gave him food, then he became a Christian. I swear to God, my dad is so cheap.”
Reactions have followed …
Social media users quickly responded to Shank’s story with a mix of humor and critique.
