“I threatened God, and something told me to jump into the water instead of threatening Him.”
Popular hit song "Able God" singer, Chinko Ekun—once signed under Olamide’s record label— shares with me how he lost it all.
He talks about having one of the biggest hits in Nigerian music history with Able God, and how he never imagined it would blow the way it did.
A few years later, the fame turned quiet, and everything around him fell apart.
He moved from a Lagos-based label to a Dubai-based one, searching for a fresh start. But instead of breakthrough, he lost the deal, his money to an investment scam, and his relationship.
He talks about how he threatened God at the beach, he said “if you don’t do something, I will bow to another god” and a voice told him to jump into the water instead.
From chart-topping glory to silent heartbreak, from threatening God to rediscovering hope.
This is a beautiful interview with Chinko Ekun we have never seen him before.
And today, he shares how he’s fine despite the loss.
