Shuhada’ Davitt formerly known as Sinead O’Connor says she never wants to "spend time with white people again"
Sinead O’Connor has claimed she doesn’t want to spend any more time with ‘disgusting’ white people.
The singer recently announced she has converted to Islam, changing her name to Shuhada’ Davitt. However, in the midst of her tweets about her practice of Islam, the 51-year-old made a statement which she acknowledged was ‘so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it’. The Nothing Compares 2U singer wrote:
‘I’m terribly sorry. What I’m about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it. But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called). ‘Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.’ The majority of those replying to Sinead’s tweet – many of them Muslims themselves – called her out on the post.
Sinead was ordained as a priest by the Irish Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church in the late 1990s, and practised Christianity for years. Famously, in 1992, she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II and said ‘fight the real enemy’ during a performance on Saturday Night Live, in protest of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
The star addressed this moment on Twitter, sharing a link and writing: ‘The last line of this performance on SNL was my first Shahada and the real moment I became a Muslim.’
