‘Music is controlled by Devil’, 9ice warns young artists

Nigerian singer and song writer Akande Ajifolajifaola, better known as 9ice, has claimed that the music industry is being controlled by the devil.

9ice said this in an interview with Nancy Isime, where he referred to the devil as the choirmaster.

The singer stated that his claim comes from his experience in the music industry. He also explained that the devil’s influence in music is why artists engage in so many social vices.

“The devil controls music. Devil is the choirmaster. That’s why we smoke and do all the things we do. I’m not lying to you. He [the devil] is the most powerful angel. I’m speaking based on knowledge and what I’ve experienced spiritually,” he said.

9ice also advised young artists to be careful when venturing into music.

“Music generally is controlled by the devil. If you’re coming to this industry, understand where you’re coming to,” he said.
