9ice, the Nigerian singer, says he once battled a mysterious illness that made him vomit blood for six months.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Nancy Isime Show, the ‘Gongo Aso’ hit maker recounted what he described as a spiritual attack that nearly ended his life around 2009 and 2010.

According to the singer, the illness defied medical treatment and only subsided after he turned to Ifa, the traditional Yoruba belief system.

9ice revealed that the incident became his turning point and led him to embrace traditional African spirituality. He added that he has since become a babaláwo, an Ifa priest.

“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 was not a medical condition,” he said.

“I am not a Christian or a Muslim, I am a Babalawo. I am an African. I am 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.”

He referenced Fela Kuti, the late Afrobeat pioneer, as someone who was ahead of his time for embracing traditional practices despite being mocked.

“Fela used to go to Ogun and people were mocking him, but now, I understand,” he added.

The singer also hinted that he has encountered multiple spiritual battles over the course of his career.

9ice shot to fame in 2008 following the release of his album ‘Gongo Aso’.

The project earned him four awards at the 2009 Hip Hop World Awards, including Album of the Year and Artiste of the Year.

He is the founder of Alapomeji Ancestral Records

I don't want to believe someone like 9ice didn't consult some of the best physicians. There are ailments that defy medicine sometimes.

The spiritual controls the physical. Things dey happen bro.

Most of us Igbo Muslims also consult the gods of our lands. Our ancestors have a place in all we do.

Thank you for promoting African traditional religion. I understand this might unsettle those still mentally enslaved.

Story. I don’t believe all this crap. How do you even believe you were attacked spiritually ? The pesin should attack tilumbu

Cute guy
And yes you are right. There are many pathways to the almighty father. Christians and Muslims are just the more popular and structured ways.
We have lost our African ways

I haven't heard any of his new songs again, Ifa has replaced his music career.

Abi ohh, everything na spiritual attack.
My truck driver went to work got back and I did not hear form him for days. When his wife finally picked the phone she said he was sick, I insisted she gives the phone to him, immedialy I heard his slurred speach, I knew he had stroke. Told them to put him in a car and bring him streight to a hospital of which I called the Dr. The guy (35 years old) had stroke, infact the Dr did not want to treat him saying from interviewing them they had taken him to different babalawo and white garment spiritualist claiming spiritual attack. He had drank all sorts of Agbo, holy water etc at doses, so the Dr did not want complications on his hand, besides could they pay for treatments? I said I will pay.
It took 3 months for him recover and come back to work, what was in his favor was his age.
Anyway, the guy said that night he got back from work, he met a neighbour that he had beef with, that was envious of him, that the guy offered him banana, he took and ate, that it was the guy that poison him through the fruit. Lol, so his family had put that innocent neighbour on notice for spiritually attacking him through banana, of course they started taking him to marabouts and churches instead of hospital. Meanwhile his moto boy that followed him that night said when they were driving back, he noticed the guy had slurred speech and was acting strange, but assumed it was as a result of alcohol and energy drinks they had at the place they went to work.

Life is more important than career.
He sought help for revival of his life not career. He knows how to take care of his career he doesn’t needs ifa’s help for that so that you won’t attribute his success to Ifa.

We have to stop mocking traditional religions and native medicine. I have a friend who's strictly a traditionalist and I know some people he has treated even a stroke patient that doctors had already started giving up hope on.

Only Jesus can save
Accept HIM now before it's too late

Any sickness an Africa man don't understand is spiritual attack...yeye dey smell .

Whether you practise Ifa, Christianity, Islam or Eckankar, every career definitely has an expiry date since no star can reign forever irrespective of one's religious inclinations. It is called the cycle of life.

If that wasn't the case, we won't have had Christian gospel singers who used to be in the limelight but not anymore despite always praising Jesus constantly.

True spirituality involves the respect of other people's beliefs since there are many paths that lead to the same source but the average religious fundamentalist will never get it.

Yes Islam and Christianity isn't necessarily superior to our ancestral way of worship because they admonish its followers not to steal, lie, commit adultery, but the Europeans and Arabs who saw us as inferior beings came and imposed their beliefs on ours, however if every tribe in Nigeria is allowed to practice their traditional ways of worship we will have absolute mayhem and chaos because that means over 300 religion alone in Nigeria with some practicing human rituals and dirty sacrifices that will be littering our roads and junctions, Go to Edo and see what happens over there.

ee don tey wey dis wan dey resemble natural babalawo dey come...

na follow come, default!

"Gongo Aso"... 9ice is now an Ifa Priest (or Babalawo). That's impressive because his style of music has always been traditional with a lot of jazzy beats fused right into it.

He follows in the path of established Babalawos such as the internationally respected Ifa Priest Professor Wande Abimbola who was a two-term Vice-Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife and he was already a Babalawo before becoming a Vice-Chancellor.
