INTERVIEW: I’m yet to recover from the shock of my alleged sextape scandal – Chidinma


Few months back, the social media-sphere was agog following the release of a sex-tape allegedly involving songstress, Chidinma Ekile and an unknown sex-crazed dude.

A close watcher of the controversial video would be quick to draw the curtain that it was the Imo-State born singer because of the striking semblance with the girl.

Still shocked and furious over the scandal, the music star who broke into stardom after wining the highly-competitive MTN Project fame, Season 3 said the ugly incident remains the worst thing that would ever happen to her as a celebrity.

In an exclusive chat with DAILY POST’s AMEH COMRADE GODWIN, the Kedike singer expressed exactly how she felt over the sex-tape and also opened up on why she can never date her colleague, Flavour N’abania.

She equally spoke about her ideal man as well as other issues bothering on her life and career.

Excerpts:

You are always looking beautiful, who is the man behind this beauty. I hope it’s not the person I’m thinking though? Am I beautiful? (Laughter), well, if you said so, then it is God.

God can’t come from heaven and make you look this charming, there must be a guy.

Common…I’m still a young girl and you don’t expect me not to look ‘take away.’

So why are you still single?

Maybe, because I’m yet to see the man who is made for me or the person is yet to find me.

Are you now telling us you are single at the moment? Yes sir. Single and happy.

When are you getting married then?

Though, my mum got married at age of 19, I hope to settle down before I clock 30.

What happened to your last relationships?

Did I ever tell you I had any?

So you’ve been practicing celibacy?

(Laugher) Not really. Ok, the thing is, I had few friends. I had some that I wanted to take the relationship seriously, but it never worked out. Though, I have a lot of male friends around me, but there has never been anything serious.

What happened to the baby you had?

(Long laughter) this is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Well, people are entitled to their opinions. Several things had been said about me. I hope it is one of those things.

Tell us, who is your ideal man?

Unlike every African woman who would say, tall dark and handsome, for me, I would rather prefer a guy who is tall and intelligent as well as caring.

What are you up to lately?

Trying to promote my latest single -If No Be God’. I am also working on couple of videos. Just studio things.

When is your next album dropping?

Like I said, I am working on some videos right now, thereafter, the album. One step at a time.

What inspired your latest single, ”If No Be God”?

I was just at a thankful state of mind. I just wanted to thank God for everything. The inspiration of the song came at the time I lost my dad and I was just trying to uplift myself.

Seems you are yet to recover from the shock of your father’s death.

Of course, I have, but it is not possible to just forget about it like that. He was my dad and I have every reason to think about losing him. But I try not to allow that distract me anyway.

I thought you were a gospel artiste, why did you deviate?

Though, we all started out in the church choir but that does not mean I’m a gospel artiste. I am a child of God, I still sing in the choir in my church. For the fact that I did a song about God recently doesn’t mean I’m a gospel singer either.

If music hadn’t worked out for you, what else do you think you would have done?

I’d have been a broadcaster.

You have been romantically linked with several entertainers, such as Phyno, Flavour, Dammy Krame, Adams, Praiz and host of others, tell us, who did you actually date among them?

Several stars have been crushing on me, in fact, I thought I would have been crushed by now. But to be honest, none of them. For Adams, if I start telling you about him, we won’t leave here. He’s my good friend. We both insult each other every time. When the story came out, I was not surprised because we both are very close. For Flavour, music brought us together and nothing more.

Are you telling me that if Flavour ask you out you will turn him down?

Capital YES.

Do you have any crush in the industry, maybe aside me?

This journalist you are just so weird (laughter), honestly none.

What would you say is the most scandalous thing that has ever happened to you as an entertainer?

That would be when this sex-tape thing came out. My God, it was crazy. I cried for days. I am still in shock on how and where the whole thing came from.

Thanks for your time.

You are most welcome.
