For a lot of people, petite Chidinma Ekile, who won reality show, Project Fame West Africa Season 3, in 2010, and went on to produce hit songs such as Kedike and Jankoliko featuring Sound Sultan, is no longer the simple lady people used to know.

Some of her fans have described her as the Nigerian version of America-based musician, Rihanna, a good girl gone bad.

This conclusion is based on the fact that the songstress inculcated new styles into her personality, giving the impression that new influences were making her change. 

Apart from changing her hairstyle randomly, she went on to dye it to red, then evolved it into a mohawk, then another punk style before eventually settling down for a Diana King look. 

The whole transformation process has, however, been tagged by her fans as the transition from simple church girl to one with street credibility, a progression which many people have argued, started with the remix of her song, Kedike, in which she featured rave rap artiste, Olamide.

Chidinma has, however, countered this perception. In a chat with www.theoctopusnews.com, she said the impression is wrong. In her words, “that is totally false, I am the same Chidinma I used to be. My style has not and will never change. I’m only evolving and growing as a musician, challenging myself and trying out new things.”

On the perception that she had a new personality due to the new street song, she says: “Emi ni Baller’ was only an experiment that people fell in love with.”

On why the change of look, the pop-soul diva revealed that she’s long ditched that look as her hair is no longer red but black.

On the kind of influence Illbliss has on her, having featured him in the song, “Emi ni Baller”, she said he has played a very important role in her career as a friend, father, brother and teacher, believing in her from the start.

When asked why she has been donning armless and cleavage revealing dresses in recent times, Chidinma said: “I have not gone bad, and I don’t show any flesh in my videos.”

 

The fast-rising singer has since released two more songs namely ‘Jollie’ and ‘Bless My Hustle’ since she dropped ‘Emi ni Baller,’ a song that has seen her being described as a re-born artiste.
