Tonto Dikeh Drops ‘King’ From Name, Embraces ‘Evangelist’ Title

Actress Tonto Dikeh has renounced her ‘King’ moniker, citing a spiritual directive.

In a social media announcement, Dikeh revealed she will now be addressed as Evangelist Tonto Dikeh, Tonto Dikeh, Aunty Tonto, or Big T.

The actress attributed the decision to the Holy Spirit, stating it aligns with God’s will for her life.

Dikeh emphasised her transition from past struggles to spiritual growth, marking a new chapter in her life and career.

“In obedience to the Holy Spirit, I make this declaration. It gladdens my heart that I can do this on the first day of March; it just aligns with the prophecy of God upon my life: He’s marching me away from everything that is old and into the prophecies that I am new.

“In alignment with the will and purpose of God upon my life, I will no longer be addressed as King Tonto Dikeh. You can call me the woman of God, Evangelist Tonto, Tonto Dikeh, Aunty Tonto, or Big T. Whichever one suits you, but I will no longer be addressed as King Tonto, and this is on the instructions of the Holy Spirit”, she said.
