Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has attributed the failure of her music career to the negative influence of what she described as her “worst friends.”
The 40-year-old star recently posted a video on Instagram of herself singing Don Moen’s God is Good.
The video made her reflect on her short-lived music journey, which began in 2013 with tracks like Hi, Crazically Fit, and Jeje, as well as collaborations with artists such as Solid Star and Terry G.
Looking back on that phase, Dikeh said the clip reminds her of a period when she was surrounded by harmful influences.
She lamented that her singing ability did not match the ambition her friends instilled in her, humorously claiming that with the right talent, she would have surpassed the fame of stars like Tiwa Savage, Cece Winans, or Whitney Houston.
“If I could sing ehn, una for don Dey sick of me…,” she wrote.
“Like you don’t even understand, Likkeeeeeeeeeeee who is Tiwa? Who is Whitney, who is cece winas? Taaaaahhhhhhh.
“Watching this video reminds me of the time I had the worst kind of friends who pushed me to release album.
“Look sneeze/sniper and co your bedroom is been reserved in hell. Moral of this lesson choose your friends wisely more importantly be wise.”
