These reports were also followed by lots of photos of them together but it didn’t end there. In 2019, the musician again posted photos of herself with Flavor in traditional Igbo marriage attire.

Following the release of the EP, Chidinma and Flavour released a short movie titled 40 Yrs Lovestacle directed by Clarence Peters.

Now, note that ‘relationship’ here could mean a working relationship or a romantic one. The two had remained mute to all the rumors initially but as speculations grew, they weighed in.

Flavour on several occasions explained that he and Chidinma shared a cordial relationship and were not dating. Chidinma, however, made it seem like a puzzle by giving vague answers during interviews. In an interview with Pulse Nigeria in 2015, she attempted to clear the air about her relationship with the highlife singer by describing their work relationship. In 2021, Flavour in an interview with BBC Igbo stated that they were only acting out a scene in the ‘ololufe’ music video and nothing more.

Since the release of their EP in 2019 and all the drama that followed in the media, nothing more was heard about the would-be or could-be couple. The following year was graced with a deafening silence from Chidinma and the same could be said about information about her and Flavour. But it wasn’t for so long; the singer gave everyone reason to talk again when she broke the news of her move from secular music to gospel music in May 2021.

On her 30th birthday, Chidinma Ekile announced on her Instagram page that she was no longer going to ‘let the devil win’ and that she was never going back to secular music. With this announcement, the need to keep tracing her history with Flavour dropped drastically. The interest of the media tilted from her obscure relationship with the highlife musician to her newfound passion for gospel music.

Who Is Chidinma Dating Now?

Whether Chidinma and Flavour are an item is a question that can only be answered by the two parties. Since her conversion to gospel music, the public lost track of her endeavors as well as developments regarding her personal life.

Contrary to the old times when she posted a lot about her personal life, including photos that gave clues as to who she is dating or not, Chidinma’s page is no longer as busy as it used to be. She either posts her new singles and collaborations with other gospel artists or scriptural references.
