Priest Claims Demons Sing Rihanna’s Song In Hell

In a shocking revelation, Michigan priest Gerald Johnson has come forward with a harrowing account of his alleged journey to Hell following a heart attack in 2016. The priest claims that he temporarily died and was denied entry into Heaven, instead plummeting into the depths of Hell where he was subjected to a torturous soundtrack of demonic karaoke. Johnson, who has been a pastor for over 20 years, took to TikTok to share his bizarre experience, which has since gone viral with over 4 million views.
According to the priest, his spirit left his physical body during the heart attack, and he found himself descending into the center of the Earth, where Hell is located. As he entered the fiery inferno, Johnson was met with the eerie sound of demons singing popular hits, including Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ and Bobby McFerrin’s ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’.
The priest claims that the music was not for entertainment purposes but was instead used to torment those in Hell.
Johnson described the experience as indescribable and emotional, stating that the lyrics of the songs took on a whole new meaning in the context of Hell. Every lyric to every song is to torment you, he said. The priest also claimed to have witnessed other gruesome scenes, including a man being burned alive while being held by a demon with chains around his neck.
Johnson believes that his experience is proof that popular music is inspired by demons and is used to control people on Earth. He warns others to be mindful of the music they listen to and to avoid unforgiveness, which he claims was the root of his own descent into Hell.
God doesn’t send people to Hell, people send themselves to Hell, Johnson said in his viral clip. This shocking tale has left many wondering about the nature of Hell and the role of music in the afterlife. While some have dismissed Johnson’s claims as mere fantasy, others believe that his experience serves as a warning to those who choose to indulge in secular music over hymns and prayers. As the debate rages on, one thing is certain – Priest Gerald Johnson’s harrowing account of Hell’s soundtrack has left a lasting impression on those who have heard it.
