Veteran Afrobeats singer 9ice has sparked intense conversation following his recent appearance on The Nancy Isime Show. During the interview, he shared strong views about the spiritual forces influencing the music industry and issued a warning to aspiring artists to be fully aware of what they’re getting into.

According to the singer, music is not just about fame or sound—it carries spiritual weight. He believes the devil has a strong grip on the industry, influencing the behavior and messages artists put out. He mentioned that certain habits among artists, such as smoking, are spiritual symptoms of deeper control, describing the devil as the “choir master” of music.

9ice also opened up about a dark period in his life where he battled a mysterious illness, vomiting blood for months without any medical explanation. He linked that experience to spiritual warfare, pointing to it as one of the reasons he became more grounded in traditional African beliefs.

Rejecting both Christianity and Islam, the Gongo Aso crooner declared his commitment to African traditional religion. He boldly called himself a “Babalawo” and said he no longer hides that part of himself. Inspired by Fela Kuti, 9ice explained that many people misunderstood Fela’s devotion to Ogun, but he now sees wisdom in it.

He further encouraged young Africans to trace their roots, speak with their elders, and understand their cultural spirituality. To him, African spirituality offers connection, identity, and answers often overlooked in mainstream religion.

9ice’s remarks have stirred reactions online, especially his claim that the devil controls music, but the singer insists he’s simply speaking the truth based on his experience in the industry.
