When host Nancy Isime asked if he had experienced spiritual battles during his music career, 9ice replied:“Several times.”
She further asked: “What’s that one spiritual battle you went through that you thought you would not get out of?”
9ice responded: “When I was vomiting blood for about six months in my own house. I had to leave my house. It happened in 2009/2010. It wasn’t a medical condition.”
When asked how he now protects himself, the singer made a striking revelation about his spiritual path.
“I’m not a Christian or a Muslim, I’m a Babalawo. I’m an African. I’m a traditionalist. The first time I experienced Ifa was when I was vomiting blood. Someone referred me to Ifa. I just wished that I had known Ifa at the beginning. Fela used to go to Ogun and people were mocking him, but now, I understand.”
9ice went on to encourage Africans to reconnect with their traditional roots and spiritual beliefs, saying he now fully embraces Ifa and African spirituality.
