Speaking in a recent interview, Chike revealed that his mother consistently stressed the importance of being with a partner who is already actively contributing to her environment and her life.

According to him, being with someone who isn’t productive or independent could mean inheriting unnecessary responsibilities.

His words:

“I think everyone should look for a partner that adds value. I personally, my mom has said this thing to me several times that no matter how the love is doing you, no settle with woman wey no get wetin she dey do. She has told me that before that don’t you ever do it. Like I know you as my kid, number one and number two I know women. It’s not someone that is pretending to be doing something. Not that they’d open shop in Lekki but you’re the one paying rent every year.

No matter how you care about that person, if they are not productively adding to the production, environment, don do it. Worse off is if they also have the baggage of family, don’t do it. Cause you know it’s not all of us that are coming from comfortable places.
Maybe you meet an Ada, and she’s the one taking care of her whole family and she’s not productive, you have inherited the family…”

Chike’s reflection underscores the practical approach his mother encouraged him to take—valuing self-sufficiency, responsibility, and shared growth in a partnership rather than relying solely on love or sentiment.

Nigerian singer Chike has taken to social media to publicly accuse a woman, Chioma Nneoma Ochibili, of defrauding him in what he claims was a fake business deal.

The drama unfolded in the early hours of Monday, March 16, on X (formerly Twitter), where the singer shared a series of posts warning others about the alleged scam.

Chike alleged that what he initially believed to be a legitimate business transaction ended up costing him $20,000, adding that other victims could have lost a combined total of $50,000. The singer included the woman’s picture and full name in his posts, which quickly gained traction online as netizens debated the details.

The thread began shortly after midnight with a seemingly cryptic question:
“Chioma Nneoma Ochibili? So you are a thief?” he wrote, accusing her of claiming to run a business while, according to him, “her business is to survive on your money.”

Chioma Nneoma Ochibili ? So you are a thief ? . That’s how they do . They will tell you they are doing certain business .

Her business is to survive on your money .

— Chiké (@Officialchike) March 15, 2026

He followed up by posting her photo with a similar caption, urging anyone who had given her money to seek repayment. Chike described his own loss as $20,000 and blamed himself for not identifying the alleged scam sooner. About an hour later, he added a cryptic remark:
“OG will have a heart attack when he sees this in the morning,” seemingly referencing others who contributed to the remaining $30,000.

If you know this girl . And she has your money😂. Ask her for it . Just try . If you on the pipeline to give her your money , run oooooo. Don’t do it 😂 pic.twitter.com/88lbuZCc8b

— Chiké (@Officialchike) March 15, 2026

After hours of online speculation, Chike clarified his main concern:
“Do not get distracted. The focus is not about the amount of money. Whatever business Chioma sells to you is not the issue. The big issue here is that the business does not even exist, which then equates to fraud.”

He stressed that his tweets were not primarily about recovering the money, which he claimed he was already pursuing through other channels, but about alerting the public to prevent further losses.

She will lie to her entire family even at gunpoint.

— Chiké (@Officialchike) March 15, 2026

In a later post, Chike shared a screenshot from someone claiming to know Chioma personally, alleging that she had scammed friends, a former boyfriend, and even her current partner.

The incident has sparked conversations online about trust in business dealings and the dangers of falling victim to scams, with many social media users praising Chike for raising awareness.

The singer opened up while reflecting on the journey behind her latest single, “Where You Dey,” a soulful collaboration with fellow artist Chike, revealing that the song was born during one of the most physically demanding periods of her life.

According to Simi, the record was initially scheduled for release in 2025. However, persistent health challenges forced her to repeatedly push back the project, slowing both her creative process and productivity.

On January 23, 2026, Simi took to her social media page to share a throwback clip from a studio session last year, when she was recording the song with Chike. Alongside the video, she explained that although she had teased the track with a snippet and hoped to drop it earlier, completing the song became extremely difficult.

She revealed that at the time, she was constantly sick, weak, nauseous, and exhausted, a phase she described simply as a “blur.” Even while filming the snippet video, Simi said she was far from well, pushing herself through the session despite her body giving out on her.

Speaking on the collaboration, Simi expressed deep admiration for Chike’s voice and artistry, saying she never doubted he was the perfect fit for the song.

She praised his professionalism and dedication, revealing that although he was initially out of town, he came straight to her studio the very next day after returning, unaware that she was pregnant and physically struggling.

Reflecting on the studio footage afterwards, Simi admitted she was shocked by the energy she appeared to have, noting that she barely recognized herself in the video. She also revealed that after recording, she struggled with mixing and mastering the song due to her condition and eventually decided to master it herself, despite disliking the process.

The missed release deadline was especially painful for the singer. She said fans had already connected deeply with the song and were eagerly waiting for it. Her health challenges also affected her ability to promote the record properly, as she barely remembered parts of the video shoot.

Despite everything, Simi emphasised that “Where You Dey” was created with love, resilience, and determination. She urged listeners to receive the song with open hearts and give it the energy she couldn’t fully give at the time.

In a pointed closing remark, Simi directly addressed critics who claim she abandoned her career for marriage, dismissing the narrative entirely and letting the music speak for itself.

“PS: This is a chance for those of you that say I gave up my career for marriage to fight(?) for my uhm…rights? That or stfu. WHERE YOU DEY > Simi ft @officialchike out everywhere now 🩵🩵.”

Reacting to the clip, Chike confirmed that Simi has welcomed twins, leaving a lighthearted comment under the post:

“This was so much fun and I definitely did not know the twins were in the room 😂❤️❤️❤️🎉.”

The moment not only marked a powerful return for Simi but also served as a quiet reminder that her artistry never paused, it endured.

Five years after their era-defining collaboration “Running (To You),” the duo reunites to prove that their musical chemistry is timeless.

Released under Simi’s Studio Brat imprint, Where You Dey is a tender, emotionally rich love song that captures both nostalgia and growth, showing just how far the two artists have evolved individually and together.

Now firmly established as a leading voice in alternative Afropop, Simi brings her signature clarity and warmth, while Chike, fondly known as the Boo of the Booless, delivers his unmistakable soulful depth.

Despite their artistic evolution, their connection remains effortless, resulting in a track that feels intimate, mature, and deeply resonant.

Produced by long-time collaborator DeeYasso, the song rests on a lush mid-tempo foundation, drawing inspiration from highlife and R&B. Gentle guitar riffs, smooth percussion, and a steady groove create a serene soundscape that allows the vocals to shine.

Simi’s bright, crystalline tone contrasts beautifully with Chike’s rich baritone, and when they meet in the chorus, their voices intertwine so seamlessly that the harmony feels almost instinctive.

Lyrically, Where You Dey explores longing, presence, and emotional availability in an increasingly busy and disconnected world. Rather than leaning into overused romantic clichés, the song focuses on the everyday moments that sustain real love: checking in, showing up, and simply being there. Simi brings her trademark wit and relatability, while Chike adds emotional weight and lover-boy sincerity.

In a music landscape dominated by high-energy solo records, Where You Dey stands out as a refreshing return to the art of the classic duet. Calm, elegant, and deeply heartfelt, it’s the kind of song destined for wedding playlists throughout 2026.

With this release, Simi and Chike don’t just deliver another love song—they reaffirm their status as the undisputed royalty of Nigerian romantic music, reminding listeners why their collaborations remain unmatched.

Nigerian singer Chike has shed light on a personal chapter of his life, revealing the unusual experience that pushed him away from church gatherings and the private moments that continue to shape his faith.

In a recent chat, the Roju crooner looked back on an encounter that left him uneasy years ago.

He narrated how he once walked into a church service only to discover that the woman leading praise and worship was someone he had previously been romantically involved with.

What should have been a moment of worship quickly turned into an awkward blast from the past.

“The lady leading praise and worship… we had history,” he recalled with a laugh. “I was having flashbacks. She was praying, and I was just wondering what was happening.”

The encounter was so distracting that Chike couldn’t bring himself to return the following week.

Still, he was quick to make one thing clear: his absence from church doesn’t mean he has walked away from his faith. Chike opened up about the period earlier in his career when he leaned heavily on prayer; one particularly tough night in Primewater Gardens, living with his then-girlfriend, stands out vividly.

“I just said, God, I don’t have anybody. I don’t have anything. Just help me,” he said.

The singer also shared a humorous but bewildering memory from the week he released his debut album. After unknowingly taking a very potent edible, he found himself temporarily disconnected from reality. “Three, four days into the album release, I didn’t even know where I was,” he confessed.

Though he no longer attends church, Chike said he still believes strongly in God. What has changed is his view of what spirituality should look like.

For him, faith is less about formal structures and more about how people treat one another. “You just need to do right by people,” he said, adding that he refuses to force himself into a rigid version of Christian living.

“The chick that was leading the praise and worship, we had history. I was having flashbacks and she was kabashing…”

Away from the deeper reflections, Chike also sparked joy online this week with a heartwarming gesture toward a devoted listener.

After Spotify Wrapped rolled out, a fan named Ope shared her results proudly; she had streamed Chike’s music for an astonishing 36,341 minutes, placing her in his top 1% of listeners. She jokingly lamented that the singer had not acknowledged her loyalty.

Chike eventually came across the post and responded in the sweetest way possible:
“Good morning! Your bank, please!”

He didn’t reveal how much he gifted her, but the gesture sent social media buzzing. Soon after, fans flooded the timeline with their own Wrapped statistics, each one hoping to get their own little blessing from the singer.

Chike’s mix of candid reflection and unexpected generosity reminded fans once again why he remains one of the most beloved voices in Nigerian music, a grounded, human, and heartfelt presence.

Good Morning! Your bank, please! ❤️ https://t.co/UcaQvI6778

The track sits comfortably in his expanding collection of “situationship anthems,” those soulful, painfully honest songs that feel like they’re speaking directly to you, sometimes a little too accurately.

With Wetin Dey, Chike once again captures the chaos, sweetness, and confusion of modern romance, wrapping it all in the warm, familiar tone fans can’t get enough of.

The title itself, a phrase you hear every day on the streets of Lagos, takes on a softer, more tender meaning here. Instead of a casual “What’s good?”, Chike flips it into an emotional checkpoint, a gentle nudge for clarity in a relationship that’s starting to feel foggy.

From the first plucked notes of the guitar, you can feel the familiar Boo of the Booless aura creeping in warm, nostalgic, and intimate. Chike sings with a quiet kind of honesty, the kind that makes you stop what you’re doing just to catch every word.

His vocals glide effortlessly between highlife sweetness and R&B smoothness, colouring the track with a sincerity that only he can deliver.

The production keeps things intentionally light. No heavy drums, no dramatic drops. Just space for his emotions to settle and for listeners to breathe with him. The simplicity is what gives the song its weight. You hear every sigh, every doubt, every unspoken question tucked into the lines.

Wetin Dey feels like a long overdue conversation. It’s casual enough to feel harmless but layered with the kind of subtext that reveals everything you’ve been trying not to say. Chike leaves the interpretation open—is he checking in on love, or checking in on life itself?

Either way, it’s a song for anyone who has lingered in emotional limbo, waiting for the other person to finally meet them halfway.

Released under Native Records, the LP stretches over an hour of high-octane storytelling, capturing the rapper’s chaotic brilliance while peeling back layers of Nigeria’s music hustle and global ambition.

Executive produced by ODUMODUBLVCK himself alongside a handpicked team of heavyweight producers, INDUSTRY MACHINE amplifies his signature Okporoko sound and an unpredictable mix of gritty street rap, raw emotion, and cultural swagger.

The album ventures into new territory, blending Afrobeats, UK drill, and trap textures without losing its Naija core. It’s a manifesto of self-belief and survival, brimming with social commentary, sonic risk-taking, and the restless pulse of an artist who refuses to conform.

Lyrically, the rapper balances chest-thumping bravado with introspection, tackling betrayal, ambition, and authenticity in the industry’s smoke and mirrors.

The production leans into chaos and somehow refines it, creating an immersive experience that’s both street and spiritual, aggressive and experimental. ODUMODUBLVCK doesn’t just rap; he provokes, narrates, and dismantles norms, offering listeners a glimpse into the engine room of his artistic evolution.

Highlights:

• “UNAWARE” ft. Pa Salieu – a fierce UK-Naija blend of street wisdom and melodic grit.
• “HALLELUJAH” ft. Jeriq, Phyno & Tobe Nwigwe – a spiritual yet triumphant anthem of survival and self-made glory.
• “PAY ME” ft. Zlatan & Stormzy – the combative lead single that set the album’s militant tone.
• “BABY REINDEER” & “BANZA BOY” – moments of pure ODUMODUBLVCK eccentricity and lyrical dominance.

Elsewhere, massive collaborations with Davido, Wizkid, Skepta, Seun Kuti, Nasty C, Tyla, and Portable inject global firepower into the album without diluting its raw, homegrown essence.

Critics have already dubbed INDUSTRY MACHINE a defining moment for Nigerian rap, a project that merges the underground’s rebellious heart with Afrobeats’ mainstream magnetism. It’s daring, dense, and drenched in attitude, a fearless expansion of what African rap can sound like on the world stage.

Now streaming on all major platforms, INDUSTRY MACHINE is ODUMODUBLVCK at his most ambitious, unfiltered, unstoppable, and unmistakably in control of the narrative.

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Chike Osebuka, popularly known as Chike, has stirred conversations with his candid views on marriage.

The 32-year-old artist, while speaking in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on the WithChude podcast, said he currently has no plans of settling down, insisting that marriage is not a path he considers wise.

“In my personal opinion, in fact, I think it’s a stupid step to get married, that’s my opinion,” he stated.

“In my personal opinion, getting married is a stvpid step.”

Although Chike has built a reputation for making soulful, love-inspired music, he emphasized that his joy is not tied to romance but to financial security.

“For me to be happy, to be honest, I need a lot of money. This is not even canal, I won’t lie to you, I like money. I want money,” he explained.

The singer also reflected on his journey into music, admitting that he never imagined it would become his career until after completing his university education.

“I would say maybe right after my university, I knew music is what I’ll do for a living. I won’t say I knew before, to be honest, because I just used to sing and disturb everybody around me,” he said.

Chike recalled his early struggles in the entertainment industry, noting that he had to take up acting roles just to survive.

“It was a tough part, I even had to start acting for like two years,” he added.

Despite his bold stance on marriage, Chike continues to connect deeply with fans through his music, which often explores themes of love and relationships.

Rising Nigerian singer Ayo Maff has publicly expressed heartfelt appreciation to soulful singer Chike for his selfless contribution to their joint track “Realness.”

According to Ayo Maff, Chike not only offered his talent free of charge but also relinquished all royalties from the song to him.

Taking to social media, Ayo Maff revealed that Chike featured on the track without collecting a fee for his verse or studio session. He also praised Chike’s presence and encouragement at the listening party for the single—further proof of his genuine support.

“I didn’t pay him a dime for the verse, I never paid for a session, he showed up to my listening party and showed me love,” Ayo Maff shared.

“As if that’s not enough, he gave me all the royalties on our song @Officialchike. I know you probably don’t want me to tell anyone, but I’m sorry, big man—the world has to know what you did for me, and you have to know how grateful I am. I’m so glad the song title is Realness.”

The revelation has drawn admiration from fans and fellow artists alike, with many applauding Chike for his generosity and commitment to supporting emerging talent in the Nigerian music scene.

Known for his powerful vocals and heart-on-sleeve songwriting, Chike invites listeners to rediscover his music in its most vulnerable form.

Since his breakout debut Boo of the Booless, Chike has built a reputation for weaving emotionally charged narratives through a blend of R&B, folk, and Afrobeats.

With Son of Chike, his third studio album, he cemented his place as one of Nigeria’s finest musical storytellers—earning accolades including Viewers’ Choice and Best Collaboration at the 17th Headies.

Now, with Son of Chike (Stripped), Chike distils his lush sound down to its emotional essence. Each song—Egwu, Lifetime Love, Apple, Mma, Your Loss, Balance Am, and Man Not God—is reimagined with minimal production, allowing his expressive voice and soul-baring lyrics to take center stage.

Longtime producer DeeYasso handles the stripped-down instrumentation with care, maintaining the warmth and sincerity that define Chike’s sound. Inspired by his popular Tuesday acoustic sessions on social media, this EP feels like a personal serenade—honest, heartfelt, and healing.

From the tender affection of Mma (Beauty) to the heartfelt promises in Apple, each track delivers fresh vulnerability and depth. This acoustic project not only highlights Chike’s range and artistry but also reaffirms his connection to the stories that have made his music resonate across generations.

With Son of Chike (Stripped), Chike proves that true songwriting doesn’t need embellishment—it flourishes in simplicity. It’s a beautiful invitation to feel more, love more, and listen deeper.
