“I Quit Hip-Hop Because I Felt Empty ” – Singer Chidinma Ekile
Chidinma, who quit secular music to return to her roots, gospel, in 2021, made this known in a video on her YouTube page on Wednesday, April 3.
According to the “Kedike” singer, despite her success after winning Project Fame in 2010, she felt empty.
She noted that the emptiness made her reconnect with her source (God).
“I was looking for my fulfillment, but I didn’t find it until I reconnected with my source,” she said.
Chidinma Ekile (born 2 May 1991), is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and actress.
A native of Imo State, Chidinma was born in Ketu, Kosofe, Lagos State. In 2010, she gained prominence after winning the third season of Project Fame West Africa.
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.
In 2011, she released the Sound Sultan-assisted single “Jankoliko”.
Her debut album Chidinma was released through the music platform Spinlet; it was supported by the singles “Jankoliko”, “Carry You Go”, “Kedike” and “Run Dia Mouth”.
