When some artistes become popular there are always people who
would accuse them of Satanism. Probably they can “smell the devil” or
something like this. Some Nigerian music stars are not an exception.
1. Iron Maiden

A man who wrote a song “Let it be” is also accused in relationships

on, dead man” is a “proof”.
4. AC/DC
