During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the singer revealed that he had a vision in 2017 and since then he has experienced changes in different perspectives.
“I had, like, a weird spiritual experience. One of the first people I told was Richard Russell, actually. And it was, like, in 2017. And, since then, my head was in a completely different place,” said the creator of the “Paper Airplane”. marca.
He insists that before the experience, he was comfortable being Tamil and Hindu because “he came to find himself,” a statement he thinks most Americans would not be able to process.
He continued by saying, “I had a vision and I saw a vision of Jesus Christ. It’s very, very creative; it was a really crazy thing because it turned my world upside down because everything I thought and believed was no longer happening. And I think that might be a sign that something big is going to happen in the world and people need to be introduced to this concept.”
MIA revealed that she always found the concept of Christianity quite basic before her experience.

During his interview, Lowe cut off the singer’s conversation with him mid-sentence, saying, “I think people are going to focus more on the fact that, I think, and, correct me if I’m wrong, you say that you’re a born-again Christian now. “
MIA later confirmed that that was the case. “I will not lie. Then, when I had this vision, it turned my world upside down. I kind of can’t let go of the Tamil side. I think that’s why 50% of records are like that. Because I’m still me,” he said of his new music.
The singer continued, “that’s still my language. And that’s still my tool to be able to create that kind of beat or that kind of sound. But I think the message is just to get to a safe place.”
MIA Is Ready To Lose Everything For Her New Found Faith
He predicts that he will lose more fans because of his new beliefs. “Basically, all my fans are probably against me because they’re all progressives who hate people who believe in Jesus Christ in this country,” he said in an Apple Music interview.
“Even if it affects my career, I won’t lie. I will tell the truth, and I will tell you what is on my mind and heart. If I come back now and say ‘Jesus is real,’ it’s true,” he added.
The singer admits that her newfound faith is still new and that she doesn’t have all the answers, but she’s tight-lipped about who saved her.

“I’m still very much thinking about what ‘this all means,'” he said. “Right now, I feel like I need to stick to who I’ve always been, which is to tell the truth. This experience happened. And I have to tell the truth about it,” he said through Related magazines.
MIA added, “right now I think the only clear thing I can say is that even though I don’t believe in Jesus Christ and Christianity, and even though I’m 100 percent comfortable in Hinduism, the Christian God is here to save me. And I I think there is truth in it.”
