Secular songs don't qualify as devilish songs - Nigerian lady

Following Terry G's claim about singing for the devil, a Nigerian writer and music lover, Halima, shared her thoughts about secular music with Legit.ng.

She said:

"I don’t think they “glorify the devil”. They certainly don’t glorify God either. I think a song can be secular and not devilish. For it to be devilish, I’m sure it should have some funny lyrics. But if it’s just “if she no duck o, etc etc”, then it doesn’t qualify as devilish. They just glorify worldly things."
