The lady, known as Ope on X, took to the platform to alert the singer that he was the #1 artist on her Spotify.

She submitted a screenshot indicating that she listened to his music for the longest period of time, 36,341 minutes, placing her in the top 1% of his listeners.

She captioned her post:

“You totally ignored your top 1 listener😭 It is well. I even did an art piece for you.”

Chiké, who came across the message and was touched by her devotion to his music, asked for her account information.

“Good Morning! Your bank, please! ❤️”

However, no mention was made of the specific amount the singer sent her after asking for her account information.

Other fans, who had also listened to his music and had evidence to back it up, rushed to the comments section to demand similar treatment.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Chike opened up about the reason behind his long break from church attendance.

He explained that one unexpected face in the choir changed everything for him.

Chike, who had earlier stated he might never get married, explained that his decision to stop attending church was not planned.

It happened after he walked into a service one day and realised that the lady leading praise and worship was someone from his past.

“I couldn’t continue”: Chike shares surprising reason he stopped going to church

According to him, the moment he recognised her, he became overwhelmed with memories that clashed with the worship atmosphere.

He stated:

“The chick that was leading the praise and worship, we had history. I was having flashbacks. She was kabashing, and I’m like… who’s that?”

He added that he only managed to attend for a week before deciding he couldn’t return.

Despite stepping away from church, the singer made it clear that he never walked away from God.

He emphasised that his relationship with God is personal, and the building isn’t what defines his faith.

He recalled how, at a low point early in his career, he knelt in a small apartment in Primewater Gardens and said a simple but heartfelt prayer.

Beyond the awkward encounter, Chike admitted that the strict structure of the church does not align with the lifestyle he currently lives.

He explained that he has habits, preferences, and a kind of freedom that he believes church culture would not accommodate.

For him, spirituality is more about character than routine.
