Music Industry is controlled by Satan – Singer 9ice Affirms
A veteran Afrobeats singer, Akande Abolore, popularly known as 9ice has claimed that the music industry is heavily influenced by spiritual forces, stating that the devil controls music, as he warned aspiring artists to understand what they are walking into.
Speaking during an interview on The Nancy Isime Show, hosted by Nollywood actress Nancy Isime, the Gongo Aso crooner reflected on the hidden battles in the industry, spiritual struggles, and his embrace of traditional African spirituality.
“I was talking about Grammy, and I wasn’t given. Burna got it. We never get am,” he said, referring to his past desire to win the prestigious music award.
He continued, “That’s why I said music, you can be passing a message. That’s why, when you sing as an artist, watch what you say in words because the devil controls music.
“The devil is the choir master. That’s why we smoke, we do all these things.”
Reiterating the spiritual weight that comes with a music career, 9ice warned,” Music generally, devil controls the music.
“If you are coming to this industry, understand where you’re coming to. I’m not lying to you.”
The singer also spoke about his personal spiritual journey, revealing a period where he suffered severe health issues with no medical explanation.
“When I had to vomit blood for like six months in my own house… 2010, 2009… No, not even medical. No worries,” he said when Isime asked about his most intense spiritual battle.
While distancing himself from mainstream religions, 9ice declared his embrace of African traditional religion, saying, “Me, I’m not Christian. I’m not Muslim. I’m Babalawo.
“I tell people and people run away from me. For me, I’m African. Traditionalist. That’s what I practise.”
He shared that he wished he had embraced Ifa earlier in life, citing Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti as an influence. “When Fela was talking, Fela used to go to Ogun, you were like, this guy, what is he doing? And now I know.”
Reflecting on spirituality from an African perspective, he added: “See, God said, I will never come to you in a different language from your people.
“And I understand later that this Black community, this Black continent is for Black people.
“And we have our own messengers. We have our own prophet.”
The singer urged young Africans to reconnect with their roots, as he persuaded them to go back to their parents and ask about their family’s traditional practices, then embrace them with loyalty and sincerity.

Peace Has Replaced Chaos – Tonto Dikeh Confirms Reconciliation With Ex-Husband, Churchill After 10 Years Of Public Feud
Nollywood actress and politician Tonto Dikeh has reconciled with her former husband, Olakunle Churchill, bringing an end to their decade-long public feud.
Tonto and Churchill were married in 2015, but their union collapsed less than two years later amid allegations of infidelity, intense public controversy and child custody battles.
In an emotional post shared on her Facebook page, Tonto attributed the reconciliation to divine intervention, humility and sustained prayers, stressing that what human efforts could not repair was healed through faith and obedience to God.
While describing the reunion as a divine restoration after years of public conflict and separation, Tonto Dikeh said peace has replaced chaos after nearly a decade of dispute, bitterness and broken communication.
According to the movie star, the renewed relationship was built on humility, forgiveness and love for their child, and encouraged people facing similar challenges not to lose hope.
She wrote, “We are living proof that the Word of God is eternal and unfailing. God is not a God who abandons what He has started. When He begins a work, He stays with it until it is completed.
“After ten long years of public battles, deep wounds, broken communication, bitterness, and pain, God stepped in. What looked ugly, impossible, and beyond repair has been touched by mercy. Peace has replaced chaos. Respect has returned where anger once lived. What human effort could not fix, God healed by salvation, humility, and the sincere prayers of a child.
“This restoration is not by might, not by wisdom, not by strength but by the Spirit of the Lord. When God moves, the human mind cannot comprehend the process. He softens hearts, silences the enemy, and rewrites stories that looked finished. Every plan of darkness has failed. Stubbornness has bowed. Pride has melted. Love has found its voice again for my child.
“I am deeply grateful to the father of my child Dr kunle for yielding to God’s word and choosing peace. Obedience to God always births restoration, even when the road has been long and painful. To anyone standing where I once stood, tired, wounded, misunderstood, and believing nothing good can come out of the situation.please hear this: God has not abandoned you. Your story is not over. What He has started, He will surely perfect. Keep praying. Keep choosing love. Keep trusting God even when it hurts.
“May this restored relationship remain built on the solid rock of God’s mercy, protection, grace, and mighty hand. May it stand as a living testimony that God never fails, never forgets, and never walks away from His own. If God did it for us, He can do it for you. To my spiritual father, Papa, thank you for grooming a God-fearing, impact-making woman out of a Total Mess.”
