Priest who ‘died and visited hell’ says he saw demons singing Rihanna
A priest who suffered a heart attack in 2016 says he briefly visited hell and went on to share his experience
A priest who claims to have visited hell has shared what it's like down there, admitting he 'wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy'.
In 2016, priest Gerald Johnson suffered a heart attack and briefly died as a result.
During this time, Johnson claims to have visited hell and some unexpected music was apparently playing there.
While it's known that heavy metal music is sometimes used as a means of 'torture', it wasn't Metallica that was playing down in hell.

According to Johnson is was Rihanna's music that was being blasted out - her track 'Umbrella' in particular.
Taking to TikTok, Johnson explained that after seeing hell itself he 'wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy', and described exactly what he witnessed down there.
He said: "My spirit left my physical body and I thought that I was going upwards, because I thought I had done so much good in this lifetime and helped so many people and basically made decisions that were godly decisions.
"As opposed to going up I went down. There was a section in hell where music was playing and it was the same music that you hear on the Earth, but as opposed to entertainers singing it, demons were singing it."
He went on: "It was some of the same lyrics that we hear here, I knew that on Earth a lot of the lyrics and the music and the songs are inspired by demons.
"Every lyric to every song is there to torment you as to the fact you didn’t worship god through music while you were on the Earth."
Among the songs he says he heard demons singing as a means of tormenting people was 'Umbrella' by Rihanna, while the denizens of hell also had 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin in their repertoire.
While Rihanna's music might be hellish for some, many of her devoted fans are crying out for the songstress to release her next album as she hasn't released one since 2016.
She's long been teasing what's been dubbed as 'R9' and got fans hopes up when the 'We Found Love' singer said she wanted to drop the album by the end of 2023.
Fast forward to summer 2024 though and we're still waiting.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, Rihanna said: "Now, I'm prepared to go back in the studio. [...] I'm gonna start."
The mom-of-two added that she's 'starting over' with the album, but won't be completely abandoning the songs that she's made has already.
Hell needs some new songs, RiRi!
