Nigerian singer Abolore Akande, better known as 9ice, stirred fresh chatter after a bold Instagram video on Sunday, June 22. In the clip the “Gongo Aso” star praised his parents as the highest authority in his life and said he doesn’t worship any other deity.
“I love my mum, I love my father, I love my dad. My God is my mum, my father is my God,” he said. He also added: “I don’t believe in inferior Gods,” a line that has kept social media talking.
