Nollywood actress and politician Tonto Dikeh is looking back at her brief stint in the music industry with honesty and humor. In a recent video shared on her Instagram page, the 40-year-old star sang the gospel song “God Is Good” and opened up about why her short music career didn’t take off the way many expected.
Tonto Dikeh revealed that one of the biggest reasons her music journey failed was the negative influence of her closest friends. According to her, they convinced her to pursue singing even though she already felt she didn’t have the natural talent for it. She admitted that their pressure pushed her into making career decisions she wasn’t fully confident about.
The actress ventured into music around 2013 and released songs like Hi, Crazically Fit, and Jeje. She also collaborated with notable Nigerian artists like Solid Star and Terry G. However, her music journey was short-lived and did not make the lasting impact many of her fans anticipated. Reflecting on that time, she confessed that trusting those friends was a big mistake, especially when they encouraged her to drop an album before she was ready.
In a playful moment during her reflection, Tonto joked that if she had a strong singing voice, she might have outshined some of the biggest names in music. She mentioned stars like Tiwa Savage, CeCe Winans, and Whitney Houston, laughing as she imagined what her career could have been if she had the talent to match her drive.
Her honest admission didn’t just entertain fans—it also carried a message. Tonto advised her followers to be careful about the people they allow to influence their ambitions. Her experience serves as a reminder that the wrong advice from friends can sometimes lead to regretful decisions.
