“From Adult Star to Embracing Islam — Rae Lil Black’s Spiritual Journey Shocks Fans”
Former Japanese adult star Rae Lil Black has surprised fans after revealing her conversion to Islam during the holy month of Ramadan. The unexpected news has sparked widespread reactions, especially after she shared glimpses of her new lifestyle online.
Rae, whose real name is Kae Asakura, first hinted at her newfound faith in February 2025, announcing that she had found religion after struggling with feelings of being “lost” for years. Recently, she posted a video enjoying her first iftar on March 2, marking her journey into the Muslim faith. In the video, Rae appeared in a modest black hijab while breaking her fast — a gesture that resonated with many but also drew criticism.
The 2.2-million-follower influencer explained that her spiritual journey began during a trip to Malaysia in October 2024. Fascinated by the warmth and faith of the locals, she began exploring Islam further by visiting mosques in Kuala Lumpur. With guidance from friends and through online resources like YouTube, Rae gradually learned to pray and now follows the practice of performing five daily prayers.
“I decided to pray because I wanted to seek help from something ‘bigger and powerful’,” she shared. “After I did, I felt so, so light… like a huge weight had lifted.”
Despite embracing a new path, Rae admitted to facing backlash from fans, reportedly losing nearly one million followers after her announcement. However, she remains unbothered, sharing that her new faith has helped her rebuild her relationship with her parents — something she had struggled with for years.
“I used to speak to my dad only twice a year. Now, I speak to my parents more often, and we’re catching up,” she added.
Addressing concerns about her past career, Rae acknowledged that she had distanced herself from the adult film industry for several years and was no longer active. However, she revealed that some unreleased content from her past may still surface as it remains in the hands of production companies.
“This might confuse people into thinking I’m still involved, but I’m not,” she clarified.
For Rae Lil Black, this transformation is more than just a change in lifestyle — it’s a journey toward inner peace after years of feeling adrift.
