They have accumulated millions of views and generated thousands of comments from users who believe them. Africentra investigated the claim from the ground up. Not a single element of it is verifiable. The videos are not real.
While there has been mixed reactions from Christains and Muslim over the viral videos, I am glad to annouce that Erling Haaland has not converted to Islam. At least not yet if I am permitted to say that. No credible news outlet, including BBC, Sky Sports, ESPN, Al Jazeera, Reuters, or AP, has reported any such conversion.
Haaland’s own team, Manchester City, has issued no statement about a change of faith. Haaland himself has made no public announcement on any platform. The circulating videos have been identified by multiple sources, including Grok’s X fact-check system, Indonesian investigative journalists, and TikTok creators themselves, as AI-generated or manipulated content.
