Chidinma Ekile, a popular Nigerian musician, has revealed why she left secular music.
The singer, who came to stardom after winning Project stardom in 2010, felt hollow and alienated from her source.
Chidinma previously stated in 2021 that she had become a minister of God and would no longer be performing secular music.
The ‘Kedike’ singer spoke about her choice to leave secular music in a YouTube video posted on Wednesday, claiming she had been yearning for contentment but couldn’t find it until she reconnected with her source (God).
In her words;
“I was looking for my fulfilment but I didn’t find it until I reconnected with my source.”
The singer also talked about how her encounter with God led her to take a different path in life, adding that she found peace and fulfillment in her new role as a minister of the gospel.
Chidinma’s decision to quit secular music was met with mixed reactions from fans and colleagues in the music industry.
While some supported her, others criticized her decision, saying that she was wasting her talent.
However, the singer appears to be content with her new path and has been using her music to spread the gospel and inspire people to connect with God.
Her latest single, ‘Jehovah Overdo,’ has been receiving positive reviews from fans and music critics alike.
