- Abdul says his family’s history taught him to be open-minded about religion.
- He says love, rather than religious background, influenced his decision to marry Chosen Becky.
- He denies being in a relationship when he met the singer.
Abdul Ssekajja, the husband of Ugandan singer Chosen Becky, has opened up about how their relationship overcame differences in religion and the controversy surrounding his past relationship.
Ssekajja, who was raised in a Muslim family, said his decision to marry Chosen Becky was influenced by his understanding of his own family’s religious history. He explained that his father was originally an Anglican before converting to Islam at the age of 19, while his mother, a Catholic, also converted after marrying his father.
According to Ssekajja, growing up in such a family environment taught him to approach matters of faith with an open mind.
He said meeting Chosen Becky reinforced that perspective, arguing that love should not necessarily be restricted by religious differences.

“Love is love. Instead of looking for someone from my religion, I chose someone I can shape and build into the direction of the wife I want.”
Additionally, Ssekajja also said he would not be surprised if Chosen Becky eventually converted to Islam, noting that she has already learned a lot about the faith.
The couple’s relationship has also attracted questions over whether Abdul was still romantically involved with another woman when he met the singer.
Furthermore, he dismissed the allegations, saying he had already separated from his baby mama and was not in another relationship when he began seeing Chosen Becky.
“I was not in any relationship. I had separated from my baby mama for some time.”
He said the absence of another relationship allowed him to pursue Chosen Becky without the complications that have been suggested by some of their critics.
The couple previously made headlines after Ssekajja, who had worked as Chosen Becky’s driver and social media manager, proposed to the singer in August 2025.
