Tonto DikehSinger’s rumoured return to music is bad news for the industry Nigerians love Tonto Dikeh, but her acceptance by music enthusiasts will never happen. Reports of her return leave a foul taste in my mouth.
Sound the alarms people! Nigerian music is under attack! One of the greatest enemies of the industry is back, and wants to hurt us in ways that we cannot defend ourselves from. This enemy has risen from slumber, and is now baring its teeth, as it prepares for an attack.
That enemy is Tonto Dikeh, and Nigerian music does not want her back.
The
Nollywood actress who took a break from music after the birth of her
first child last year, is gearing up for a comeback into the music
scene, according to multiple reports. She has been pictured hanging with
Jaywon in the studio.
Nigerians love Tonto Dikeh, but her acceptance by
music enthusiasts will never happen. If anything, she is viewed with
disdain, for attempting to enter a field that she lacks the talent to
practice, let alone succeed. Comments after comments have called out the
singer at every turn, chasing her through releases and videos to hammer
home the point that the lady has no business with music.
That
has not appeared to faze the singer. If anything, she appears to draw
strength from the torrents of abuse, coming out stronger at every turn,
and performing her songs on stages that would have her. This lady, know
how to tickle a crowd offline, and rub them wrong online.
onto’s break from music came with her shift in focus
to family. Mr X, as she fondly names to her husband, smothered her with
love, stole her heart, and her interest in music and all things heart.
She just had their first son, and in the first interview, she dropped
the bombshell. Tonto has left D’banj.
Many fans regard this a good thing. Almost a blessing.
Tonto’s
addition to DB Records was widely regarded as a ridiculous move by
D’banj, a star whose quality of music was depreciating. Many felt he was
adding a player that would prove to be more of a liability than an
asset. That asset never really blossomed. Tonto’s time at DB Records can
be described as ‘negligible’ at best. She offered more media attention
and press, but no real gain.
Many fans would want Tonto Dikeh to absolutely quit
music in all its forms. They would prefer her to raise her arms in the
air, in surrender to her perceived lack of talent, accept her place as a
good actress, and work at becoming better and growing organically at
acting. To be clear, this isn’t personal. Tonto Dikeh is adored as an
inspiration and role model to many in Nollywood. Her career has shaped
lives, and been a constant source of entertainment for Nigeria.
It is simply just believed that she should be content with one art form, and leave the music alone.
Right
now, that is happening is not happening, and she is not welcomed.
Motherhood for all its attendant blessings, does not include the
bestowing of musical talent on a wack artiste. Tonto is not welcomed,
Asaba and all its movie producers have missed her. Music, not so much.
