9ice has stirred fresh conversation online after making bold spiritual remarks about his personal beliefs, reigniting discussions about religion, tradition, and identity.
In a video shared on his Instagram page over the weekend, the singer expressed that his parents occupy the highest spiritual position in his life, describing them in deeply reverential terms that immediately caught public attention.
“Today I’ll tell you something I don’t really talk about, but I’ll talk today. I love my mum, I love my dad, my god is my mum, my father is my god,” he said.
He later reinforced the sentiment in the comment section, suggesting that the reverence often directed toward a higher deity should instead be placed on one’s parents.
He also added, “I don’t believe in inferior Gods,” a statement that further fueled debate as it appeared to reject the worship of other spiritual entities in favour of a personal belief system centred on parental reverence.
The comments have sparked widespread reactions across social media, with many users questioning his stance while others interpreted it as a symbolic expression of gratitude and deep respect for his upbringing.
The development also comes months after 9ice previously revealed that he has practised as a Babalawo for 18 years, a disclosure that already placed him at the centre of public conversations around spirituality and traditional religion in Nigeria.
