Tech N9ne denies that he worships the devil, saying that his music simply uses dark imagery.

Fans have been sceptical of his lyrics and have accused him of praising satan, but Tech denies this and explains that it is just how he channels his creativity. "I have never had anything to do with devil worshipping in my music," he told TaleTela in an exclusive interview.

"People just call me a devil worshipper because of my imagery and because of some of my darker music but I have never hailed Satan in any of my music and I’ve never done anything that had anything to do with Satan."

Tech also denies that he has changed from his first album, but says his lyrics may sound a little crazy as he was on drugs at the time. "A lot of people say that I have changed but I can’t see it. When I listen to all my old album it’s just my life that has changed."

He continued: "People evolve and the stories get crazier. But maybe that’s it. The stories might not be as crazy as when I was on drugs. So maybe people like me to be on drugs and talk about ecstasy like I used to."
