Speaking about her recent conversion to Islam, Ozuna said (via AS Tikitakas):
“I have converted to Islam. It was here in the Mosque of Madrid. They recite the Qur’an. … It’s a small and intimate ceremony. I cried like a girl. I am very sentimental.”
She added: “I have researched a lot about this religion, and I find it beautiful. Everything I’ve read about her has moved me. During Ramadan, I read the Qur’an, and it made me cry. I also read The Sacred Path to Islam, about a Christian who converts to Islam, like me. A really precious book.”
Karim Benzema recently completed a move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, bringing an end to his illustrious spell as a Real Madrid player. Ozuna is set to support her partner from the side in Saudi Arabia.
She said: “This very Friday, I could travel. I feel like an adventure and to really get to know the culture and the food.”
Ozuna, born in Maryland, USA, was also asked about the strict dress codes of the Middle Eastern country.
She said: “For my part, there is no problem. It is a precious culture, and I am delighted with the adventure.”
