October 2,2012, after her plan to release one of her singles soon was
met by insults and disdain on twitter.
The conversation soon turned into a heated argument, which became a
trending topic on the social network.
The drama began after Dike made her announcement in what was
considered by some as an 'arrogant manner': 'Gettin HI on ma own
SONG***Loverz I cnt wait2
SHARE HI n ITZ OVA wit YA*#POKO#
', she wrote. A few people responded jokingly, advising her to be
careful, citing examples of actors such as Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve
Nnaji, Jim Iyke and a few others who have tried but failed in music.
Dike rose in favour of the concerned actors, adding that her case
would be different: 'All ya wabbling abt Actorz gettin
In2 MUZIK,Itz bezt u Shut d FUCKUP n wait 4wat we gat**Az 4 POKO ya'll
MUx dance 2 HI n ITZ OVA*I said MUX*' she tweeted.
Perceiving the response as a display of pride, several Twitter fans
tried to call her to order, which infuriated her even more; 'Una
really no understand. Itz a fuckin MUX 2lizten 2ma MUZIK. Like I ainnt
gonno BEG 4DAT BUT UR CHILDREN'Z CHILDREN will GAM MII**NO braggin,
Jux d truth n I've gat d braggin RITE thou*#POKO#. Heheh*4 doze who
wana fucktalk n doze who wana kizz azz n doze who tell d truth.'
Degenerating even further, several people unleashed several insults on
her, and the usually twitter-friendly Dike turned into a monster,
responding in like manner, swearing and cursing at them.
Zala Andolini pointed out Tonto's grammatical errors, saying: 'You
say you have a college degree, FFS spell/type like a goddamn educated
person' to which Tonto responded: 'Hehehhehheheheh bitch I dnt ve a
degree but I do ve a bank acct fat n shapelezz enough 2mk ur parent
assasin U**U unstaaannnn'.
Others, like Olawumi Jones, who thought her proud for flaunting her
wealth, said '@tontolet is jst a sick bitch nuffin more, calg sum1
poor we all knw who made u av little change in ur acct, thnx to that
old mama thou.' 'Lil change??*May God purify Ur mouth' Dike responded.
Meanwhile,
yet another 'fan' Abdul-Rafiu, who reminded her of her single with
Kas, 'Don't even talk, your single with @kas was awful', got this from
@tontolet: 'Well stil shut d fuckup n
wait 4 ma muzik**Dnt b so dumb not2 knw dat waz a teaser*Ooo well u re
SILLY DUMB*' in response, while a piece of advice from tweeter Mrs O,
saying 'Omg !
Write well' got her in Dike's bad books, as she aptly responded, 'U
really silly**Tell ur MOTHER dAT*DOGAZZ*'
The session lasted for hours, as Dike continued like a wounded
scorpion, stinging those who crossed her path, until finally, she
tweeted, 'I've decided 2stick wit LOVE***HATE'Z 2much a burden
2BEAR*-MJK jnr #POKO#. Now d HATERZ re PAINED*I sure did a
Marvellouz JOB,NYC*By d way SORRY2 all ma LOVERZ,Cant promize nothin
BUT GOD'z WORKIN on ma TEMPA*#POKO#' and ended it with 'Lazt laugh n
I'm off 2sleep*buahahhahahh'
Despite the contempt from some quarters, many of her followers showed
their support, urging her to continue with her passion. Among them was
Italian based Nigerian artiste, Vic O, who told her: 'pretty do
what'll pls ur heart, don't mind them. Pretty i swear luv ya swags,
keep it rolling I got ur back.'
Another fan, describing her as one of the few not afraid to leave
their comfort zone, said he was anticipating the release of her songs,
while yet another tweeted, 'Keep doin wot u're doin whether dem lyk am
or not u're made.'
In Nov 2011, the actress featured on a song, Iyawo wind, produced by
singer-producer, Kas, which was met with a lot of skepticism.
Dike, 27, was born in Rivers State and made her debut into movies in
2005, after participating in the reality TV show, Next Movie Star.
