Oladipo Olamide Emmanuel, popularly known as Chinko Ekun had been on the low for a while. Actually, since his last hit song, Able God. Little did we know he was fighting for his life and fighting to get back on his feet after having a fallout with his former record label, Dek Niyor Entertainment. The fallout led to his being dropped by the label and losing his house and car. In the video where he shared his testimony, he recounted squatting with a friend, sleeping on the floor and even battling depression at some point.
I got to know Chinko right from his student days at OAU. He was the hottest artist on campus back then. He could literally rap to anything and with anything. People had the habit of giving him random items on the stage, and instantly, he would come up with a rhyme for it. Honestly, that is one side of Chinko I hope we will come to see now that he is back on his feet.
Coming into the limelight, I know he had paid his dues and would do well in the industry. However, life happens. But the good part is, that is over now. He mentioned in the video that he has even fulfilled his dream of buying and using the car that was taken from him by his Record label then.
Here at Epoh Music, we are grateful on behalf of this talented young man. And we hope to see him win more now that he is back. How about a few of his songs to remind you that he is someone to look out for?
