Chidinma Ekile: Singer Turned Twitter Influencer?

 

Nigerian singer, Chidinma Ekile aka Miss Kedike as regards music of recent, as the Igbo born beauty is slowly fizzling into oblivion. 

The “Kedike” crooner is well known for her sonorous voice and regular dropping of banging hot singles, but these days, her music barely goes viral. Well maybe it’s because her “Retweet this with this hash tag” or “what will 5k do for you, reply with this hash tag” tweets go viral than her songs.

Chidinma went into limelight after winning the popular “MTN Project fame” in 2010. A music reality show by telecoms giant MTN. She was exceptional in the show and went away with the grand prize. She further won a lot of hearts after she released a hit single “Kedike”.

Following the release of the music video for her “Emi Ni Baller” single, she became the first female musician to peak at number 1 on the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10 chart. She released other hit singles like: Jankolikolikoko and others.

It came as a surprise to all when all of a sudden her verified twitter page started tweeting with hash tags urging followers to re tweet with and comment with same hash tags for some amount of money – A normal thing most “twitter influencers do”. When it comes to music, Chidinma is not as ‘hot’ as she used to be. 

The Chidinma we used to know would have released a jaw dropping album by now, but it appears like she is slowly losing her “juice”.

However, Miss KDK as she is fondly called came out of recent to debunk tweets from the account claiming it was hacked after lots of backlash and reactions from people. The “influencer-like” tweets of the account have recently been deleted (a sign she has regained her account, if truly it was hacked, as personally I think there is nothing wrong with trying to have other sources of income).

Chidinma recently released a single with fellow crooner Flavor named: “Iyawo mi” and truthfully speaking, it struggled to get 1million views on YouTube! Is this a sign that she should completely abandon singing for Twitter influencing as she obviously did better at that? What do you think?
