Nigerian music star, Alexander Adegbola Akande, popularly known as 9ice, has opened up on a near-death experience he suffered in 2010, which he describes as a “spiritual attack.” 

In a deeply personal interview on The Nancy Isime Show, the 'Gongo Aso' crooner revealed that he vomited blood consistently for six months in what he claims was a battle that had nothing to do with any known medical condition.

Speaking candidly, 9ice recounted how the mysterious illness forced him to abandon his home and rethink his spiritual identity. According to the singer, after several attempts to get relief failed, he was eventually referred to an ifa priest, a moment he says changed everything about how he views religion and African spirituality.

“It happened in 2009/2010. I was vomiting blood for about six months, in my own house. I had to leave my house. It wasn’t a medical condition,” he said.

9ice, now 45, said his healing journey began when he embraced the traditional Yoruba religion. He admitted that before then, he identified as neither a Christian nor a Muslim, but simply saw himself as a “heathen” with no religious commitment.

 But after encountering ifa through the priest he was directed to, his perception of spirituality shifted entirely.

“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,” he said.

Reflecting further on his new path, 9ice described himself as a Babalawo a traditional priest and urged Africans to return to their roots and embrace indigenous religions rather than depending solely on imported beliefs.

“I’m not a Christian or a Muslim. I’m a Babalawo. I’m an African. I’m a traditionalist,” he declared. He also referenced late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, saying, “Fela used to go to Ogun and people were mocking him, but now I understand.”

9ice’s revelations have sparked widespread reactions, especially as more Nigerians begin to openly discuss spirituality outside the mainstream religions. His statements contribute to a growing cultural movement advocating for the recognition and respect of traditional African religious practices.

While spiritual attacks are often treated with skepticism in some circles, they remain a strong part of African metaphysical belief systems, where unexplained illnesses or misfortunes are attributed to forces beyond the physical realm. For 9ice, his story is a testimony of survival and self-discovery.

The singer, who rose to fame in the late 2000s with his unique Yoruba-infused sound, has consistently remained outspoken about his beliefs. In previous interviews, he has also accused the music industry of being spiritually manipulated, even claiming that the devil controls parts of it.

With this latest account, 9ice adds a powerful voice to conversations about spirituality, cultural identity, and the need for personal connection to one's roots. His story is not just a personal testimony it is a reflection of the spiritual complexity within Nigeria’s diverse society.
