Musa has been at the centre of religious controversies. According to Afrik-Foot, he was cyberbullied in 2023 by Muslims after sharing a Christmas message on his platforms.

The former Leicester City forward has been attacked numerous times for leading or singing along to Christian songs on the Super Eagles team bus.

Though he was born to a Muslim and northern father, his late mother, Sarah Moses, was a Christian from Edo state and raised him and his siblings when his father passed away years ago.

His upbringing gives him a multicultural and religious background, helping him to appreciate diversity.
