  • Fact Check: These images DO NOT show Chelsea star Didier Drogba converting to Islam While sharing a set of photos, several Facebook pages claimed that Drogba converted from Christianity to Islam. AFWA's investigation found that such posts are misleading and that Drogba himself has denied these claims. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check Didier Drogba himself has clarified that he has not converted to Islam. It was a prayer where he took part with his Muslim brothers in his native village. A post has recently gone viral on social media that shows former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba making a hand gesture that looks similar to Islamic prayer. The set of photos being shared shows Drogba seated with another man who is also doing the same. While sharing these photos, several Facebook pages and people claimed that Drogba converted from Christianity to Islam. "ALLLAHU AKBAR. Former Ivorian star Didier Drogba converts to Islam. Oh ALLAH make him steadfast on Islam," read one such post alongside the photos. AFWA's investigation found that such posts are misleading and that Drogba himself has denied these claims. AFWA Probe With the help of a few searches, we found a report on a Ghana-based website that featured Drogba's reactions after such posts went viral. Per this report, Drogba denied reports of him converting to Islam and cleared the air by stating that it was just a prayer for his Muslim brothers in his village. We also found a tweet posted by Drogba himself, where he categorically mentioned that he has not changed his religion. "This story is going viral but I haven’t changed religion. This was just me paying respect to my Muslim brothers I was visiting in my village. A moment of togetherness. Much love and blessings to all," Drogba wrote while making his religious beliefs clear. Therefore, it is clear that such claims are nothing but baseless rumours. Please share it on our at 73 7000 7000 You can also send us an email at factcheck@intoday.com
