Michigan-born singer and media personality Queen Naija Bulls has been refreshingly candid about her spiritual journey throughout her career. As a YouTuber, she shared pieces of her testimony with viewers and encouraged them to strengthen their relationship with Christ. She often sings Christian songs on her livestreams, leaving her listeners moved by the sincerity behind her anointed vocals.
Will Queen Naija Release a Gospel Album?
This is a question often posed to her in social media comments as well as formal interviews. But Queen isn't running from her purpose. "I always knew that God had a calling on my life...I know that He gave me this voice to use for Him."
In 2018, she released the Gospel single 'War Cry' and was featured on the remix of Koryn Hawthorne 'Speak to Me' in 2021. During her appearance on 'The Real', she told host Adrienne Houghton that she would love to create a worship album and possibly collaborate with Israel Houghton. Leading praise and worship at her church is how she began singing, and she eventually wants to crossover into Gospel.
It's clear to Queen's supporters that she's meant to sing for God. Even in casual social media videos, Queen shares uplifting words with ease. One social media user commented, "Queen Naija is a gospel artist. We're all just waiting for her to embrace it. God Bless her." So why hasn't Queen dropped a full Gospel album yet?
It's possible that she's waiting for the "right moment," or the opportunity may not have arisen yet. Regardless, thousands of people have made it clear that if and when Queen decides to drop a Gospel project, it's guaranteed to be a success.
Is Queen Naija A Christian?
"I grew up singing in church; I just grew up in a Christian household. Like, we wasn't perfect you know--we had drama, we had ups and downs and stuff like that. But through everything we always believed in God...I still have that belief. I believe in God heavily."
In a YouTube video, Queen told her subscribers that she was baptized at the age of 10, and received the Holy Spirit 7 years later. " I knew what baptism meant. I knew it meant to wash away your sins, to repent, and just be born again and become a new person."
Queen shared her testimony of being filled with the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues after having prayer with her mom, aunts, and siblings in their living room. "All of a sudden I started to speak a different language. I knew it was the Holy Spirit."
Queen Naija's Worst Fear
When asked what her worst fear was during a red carpet interview, without hesitation, Queen answered, "Not going to heaven."
In 2017, Queen posted a storytime about receiving a "pretty intense warning from God." In her video, she recounts a dream she had as a teenager during a time when she was rebellious against her mother and stepfather. It was a frightening dream about the rapture and judgment day in which her family made it into heaven, but when she stood before God, He told her to depart from Him.
"When we was in church I really wouldn't pay attention...and I would just always be doing bad stuff...but I knew right from wrong." She explains that her mom would often tell her "If you don't listen to me, you're going to have to give an account to God".
She shares the same advice with her viewers. In her comfy clothes with her hair tied up in a messy bun, Queen explained that she wanted the video to feel like viewers were having a conversation with a friend during a sleepover.
She exhorts listeners, saying, "This life is temporary, y'all. That's why God tells us not to get too caught up in ourselves and into the ways of the world...and material things, because this body, this whole world, everything is temporary. If your soul's not right, it don't mean nothing."
To convey that the video wasn't meant to be condescending or judgmental, Queen invited viewers to strive for improvement in their walk with God, while acknowledging that she, too, has areas for growth. She admits that she backslid and had difficulty finding a church home, but the only way to overcome that is actually to attend church.
In the video, which currently has over 766,000 views, she reminds viewers that God put them on the Earth for a reason. "Make sure whatever you do, you put Him first."
