Tonto Dikeh Reflects on Her Short-Lived Music Career With Humor and Regret

Tonto Dikeh

Nollywood actress and politician Tonto Dikeh has taken a humorous look back at her brief foray into music, admitting she had no business being behind the microphone.

In an Instagram post shared on Thursday, the 40-year-old posted a clip of herself singing the gospel classic “God Is Good All the Time” while joking about her lack of vocal ability.

She wrote:

“If I could sing ehn, una for don dey sick of me… Like you don’t even understand. Likeeeeeeeeee who is Tiwa? Who is Whitney? Who is CeCe Winans? Taaaaahhhhhhh!
Tonto Dikeh!
Watching this video reminds me of the time I had the worst kind of friends who pushed me to release an album… Look sneeze/sniper and co, your bedroom is being reserved in hell.
Moral of this lesson: choose your friends wisely, more importantly, be wise.”

Dikeh was signed to D’banj’s DB Records in June 2014 but left less than a year later. Her music career was met with widespread criticism, with many listeners describing her songs as off-key.

Despite the backlash, Dikeh has previously said she had no regrets about exploring music.

“I failed woefully in music. But I still don’t regret it,” she once shared in an interview. “When I say I failed in music, it is not because my music was not good. I think I lost the confidence to move on. Music is consistency. If I had continued, I would have made good music.”
