Her participation in MTN Project Fame Season 3 brought her into limelight and she has been doing well for her self since then. Recently a lot of people believed she is having romantic affairs with some of her colleagues. But she said it is not true.
The excerpts below...
On her relationship with Adams and her male counter
parts she said: The truth is, most people assume. The public has given
me so many boyfriends, and funny enough, I haven’t met some or had a
conversation with them. Talking about Adams, he is my friend, we have been
friends for a long time and it is normal for people to attach something to it
most especially if it’s a relationship with the opposite sex. I have other
friends too, like Dammy krane, flavor himself, to mention but few. However, I
have understood that things like this are part of the business and I just have
to manage it.
On people’s new opinion about her
she said” Well, it is more than four years down the line and I don’t expect
people to think I will remain the same. I am growing. I have heard a lot of comment
about me being a good girl and now gone bad but really that’s not the case, I
am just like every other person. For example, “E mi baller” video made people
perceive me wrongly and of course, I had to pass the message the best way I can
so I don’t dilute the essence of the message and I taught that was the best way
I could do it. I have seen new things, gone to different places, met with
people, and all this put together has changed a lot of things, so they
shouldn’t expect that young Chidinma they knew some years ago. I won in 2010,
calculating that to today is really a long time coming for me.
If she is in a relationship she said: No, I am in a relationship (laughs).
