Emphasis on Nigerian Music Industry’s Spiritual awareness
Nigerian singer 9ice recently expressed a controversial perspective about the music industry, stating that it is largely influenced and controlled by dark spiritual forces. During an appearance on The Nancy Isime Show, he referred to the devil as the “choirmaster” and claimed that this entity holds significant sway over the music world.
According to 9ice, many of the behaviors commonly associated with artists—such as smoking and other vices—are deeply connected to the spiritual nature of the industry. He suggested that these actions are not simply lifestyle choices, but manifestations of a deeper, unseen influence. He attributed this influence to the devil, whom he believes orchestrates much of what happens within the music scene.
Drawing from his personal journey and spiritual insights, 9ice emphasized that his statements are not mere opinions but are grounded in real-life experiences and knowledge he has acquired over time. He issued a strong warning to up-and-coming artists, urging them to be spiritually and mentally prepared before entering the music business. In his view, it is not just a career path but a realm where spiritual battles occur.
“The music industry,” he said, “is under the control of the devil. He is the choirmaster—that’s why many of us find ourselves smoking and engaging in all kinds of activities.” He reiterated that his claims were not exaggerated or fabricated, insisting, “I’m telling the truth. The devil is the most powerful of all angels, and I speak from both knowledge and spiritual experience.”
9ice’s statements have sparked conversations about the influence of spirituality in entertainment, raising questions about what really drives certain behaviors in the industry and what aspiring musicians should be mindful of before stepping into the spotlight.
