Thread: Tonto Dikeh earns most abused Nigerian actress award

By Niyi Tabiti

The heavy flow of negative reactions to two singles released by Tonto Dikeh has earned her the ‘award’ of the most abused Nigerian actress on social media by a magazine, News of the People. Tonto is on the magazine cover this week.

Just like Omotola and Genevieve, two nollywood stars who tried music before her, Tonto was not given a breathing space by many people including her fans who thought she should not waste her time as there is no future for her in that line.

Itz Ova and Hi, her two singles got massive download from various music sites because of the publicity but most people think that the Rivers State born actress should forget it. A music lover, Kunle Hassan told niyitabiti.net at Headies 2012 that “It is laughable if people like Tonto think they can use their female power or their popularity in the acting world as a prerequisite for doing good music”

The only single released by Genevieve gave her a heartbreak and she decided to turn away because people told her point black to leave music for those who have the talent.

Omotola has a never say no spirit. Despite negative reaction in some quarters that she is not a good musician, she has been doing her best to get music lovers to see her just the way they see and love American pop star, Beyonce.

niyitabiti.net gathered that Omotola made cool money selling tickets for one million naira and below at her album launch. She has also performed at various events. At the baby christening for the son of Nicholas Okoye, a multimillionaire businessman some years ago, Omotola performed there. Guests included Billionaires such as Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia and others.
