Nollywood actress turned singer, Tonto Dikeh, has been in the news in the last few days as a result of two singles, Itz Ova and Hi which were greeted with widespread criticism. Ever since the songs were released on Wednesday, Dikeh has become a trending topic on Twitter and the butt of joke on Black Berry and major social media sites. She has been lampooned by the public and celebrities like M.I; her ex-lover, Wizkid; Basket Mouth; Seyi Law; and most recently by the equally controversial Nollywood filmmaker, Charles Novia.

She later starred in similar flicks like Dirty Deeds and Strippers in love. 6- In September 2011, Dikeh bought a jeep for her father, Chief Sunny Dikeh. According to her, her dad, who once campaigned to be the Governor in Rivers State under the All Nigerian Peoples Party was initially not in support of her acting career. 7- In October, 2011, the sassy actress got her 57th tattoo during a visit to the US. 8-In August, Tonto Dike and fellow actress, Rukky Sanda, made a joint donation of N1m to a cancer patient, Fummi Lawal.
