I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH TONTO DIKEH-DENCIA

I have no issues with Tonto Dikeh –Dencia MAY 30, 2015 : Dencia Like her or hate her, US-based Nigerian/Cameroonian singer, Dencia, has made a name for herself locally and internationally. The singer was in Nigeria recently to promote her new song, African Energy. Speaking to Saturday Beats during the launch, Dencia was able to clear the air concerning some controversies surrounding her. Top on the list was her ‘beef’ with actress, Tonto Dikeh where Dencia waded into a conflict between the actress and her shopper, Pearl. A lot of people wondered why Dencia should get into the misunderstanding since it wasn’t her business. While explaining her reasons to Saturday Punch, Dencia said, “I don’t have issues with Tonto Dikeh, I just don’t like it when someone feels because she is bigger than another person, she can trample down on them. Pearl is my protégé and my sister and I felt that she was being cheated, so I spoke on her behalf. I hate it when someone who feels she is big in the society cheats another person who seems smaller in class,” she said. The singer who currently resides in a mansion in Los Angeles, which formerly belonged to Hollywood actor, Dwayne Johnson, said that she made her money through hard work and was not involved in any kind of illegalities contrary to popular belief. “I made most of my money from the sale of my beauty cream, Whitenicious. I make a lot of money from that and it has been able to sustain me. I don’t do drugs even though I have friends who indulge in it. I neither drink nor smoke too,” she said. She also addressed the issue of her beauty cream being discredited by Oscar award winner, Luputa Nyongo. Dencia said, “I don’t have issues with Lupita. I never knew who she was until she spoke about me. There were a lot of politics in the background that a lot of people would not understand and I don’t want to go into it. But it is wrong to talk badly about somebody’s brand. If it happens, it means that there is somebody in the background paying you to do so. That is how it happens in LA and everywhere around the world. When I woke up that morning and read what she said, I was shocked because I did not know who she was. I asked my sister to find out who she was and my sister searched for her on Google. That was when I knew who she was. When I realised who she was, I leveraged on what she said and used her for publicity instead. Few days after, she discredited my brand when she had an endorsement with a skincare company. How would you discredit me and the next day you are endorsed by a company that sells a similar product like I do? It is not rocket science,” she said.
