After announcing in March this year that she had changed her name to Magda Davitt, Sinead O’Connor has announced that she has now changed it a second time following her conversion to Islam.
After originally changing her moniker to be “free of parental curses” the Irish singer has revealed she now wishes to be known only as Shuhada Davitt after declaring herself a Muslim.

“This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim,”
“This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam.”
