In a recent announcement, the government of the Bahamas confirmed that renowned musician and actor Lenny Kravitz has officially applied for citizenship in the country. This public notice, posted online, details Kravitz’s request for registration and naturalization through the Ministry of Nationality and Citizenship. As part of the process, the notice also invites anyone with objections to his application to submit their concerns in writing within a 20-day timeframe.
Kravitz has a deep connection to the Bahamas, particularly the island of Eleuthera, where he has been actively engaged in various community initiatives. Notably, in December 2022, his Let Love Rule Foundation collaborated with the GLO Good Foundation to conduct its sixth dental mission on the island, providing essential dental care to residents at no charge. This partnership highlights Kravitz’s commitment to supporting local communities, especially in Eleuthera, where he has built lasting ties.
The musician’s roots in the Bahamas trace back to his mother, Roxie Roker, who was an actress of Bahamian descent. Kravitz spent considerable time on the islands of Eleuthera and Exuma during his childhood, reinforcing his personal and cultural bonds to the region. He has openly discussed how his Bahamian heritage has influenced his life and career across music, acting, and philanthropic efforts.
The Ministry of Nationality and Citizenship has made it clear that any individual with valid reasons for opposing Kravitz’s citizenship application is encouraged to formally respond to the government. This step ensures that the process remains transparent and allows for community input on such significant matters.
As Kravitz continues to navigate this important step in his journey, his application not only represents his desire to become a citizen of the Bahamas but also underscores his long-standing commitment to the islands and their communities.
