The Ogbomosho-born artist announced that he will be acquiring the tribal mark in commemoration of his father, who bears the same mark.
“By the time I’m 50, I will get the same mark as my dad. That’s what I want to do for my birthday. A lot of my boys said I won’t do that, but you will see,” he stated.
9ice is well-known for his effective usage of the Yoruba language in his music, as well as his catchy lyrics and distinct delivery style.
In 2008, he rose to stardom with the smash track 'Gongo Aso'. Since then, he has recorded more albums and successful songs.
In an interview with Nancy Isime in August 2025, 9ice revealed that he practices conventional worship.
He described how he became a heathen after being referred to an Ifa priest while dealing with a "spiritual attack" that caused him to vomit blood for six months.
The musician admitted that after being healed, he regretted not becoming a traditionalist earlier.

Still on 9ice and his transitional beliefs, Legit.ng reported in 2023 that he was crowned with a chieftaincy title in Ogun state.
The indigenous artist provided his fans with a couple of pictures from the momentous occasion.
He was declared the "Amuludun of the Ijofin Kingdom," which translates to "Chief Entertainer of the Ijofin Kingdom."
9ice extended his gratitude to the monarch of the Ijofin Kingdom for bestowing upon him the chieftaincy title and further assured Nigeria of his continued support.
His words:
“AARE AMULUDUN IJOFIN KINGDOM. IPOKIA YEWA. THANKS TO HRM OBA MORUF AWODE. AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY OF GUSANU AND THE PEOPLE OF IJOFIN KINGDOM YEWA. OGUN STATE.”
