9ice is a Nigerian singer and songwriter
Nigerian singer and songwriter, Akande Abolore Adegbola Alexander, popularly known as 9ice, has made a bold statement about the music industry.
In an interview with actress Nancy Isime shared on social media on August 3, 2025, 9ice claimed that the music scene is controlled by the devil.
According to 9ice, who is known for hit songs such as “Gongo Aso” among others, noted that music is a spirit and Lucifer is the choirmaster; therefore, creatives should be mindful of what they say in their music.
“As an artiste, watch what you say because the devil controls music. The devil is the choirmaster; that is why we smoke and do all these things. If you are coming into the music industry, understand what you are coming into, and I am not lying about this,” he stated.
9ice also recounted an incident where he was spiritually attacked in 2010. According to the musician, he vomited blood for six months.
“I have been attacked several times, and I vomited blood for six months in my own house. I had to leave my house. This was around 2009 -2010,” he added.
