Nigerian singer Alexander "9ice" Adegbola Akande has opened up about a "spiritual attack" he claims almost took his life.

In a recent episode of The Nancy Isime Show, the 'Gongo Aso' crooner said he vomited blood for six months after the attack, which he believes was not a medical condition.

"When I was vomiting blood for about six months in my own house... It happened in 2009/2010," he explained.

He said he found healing after someone referred him to an Ifa priest.

9ice revealed he is neither a Christian nor a Muslim but a traditionalist. He expressed regret that he didn't become a traditionalist sooner.

"I'm a Babalawo. I'm an African. I'm a traditionalist," he said. "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."

He concluded by urging other Africans to embrace traditional religions.
