Chike expresses severe fear of career damage due to his affair with a married woman in new viral audio A new audio recording involving Sandra, the ex-wife of TV host Frank Edoho, and singer Chike is making rounds. In it, singer Chike expressed worry that most of the people he works with are married, and most of the people who give him jobs are married. He also said if the news gets online, they will start withdrawing from him and their partners would not be comfortable with them working with him. However, Sandra assured him by saying public criticism and social media backlash may not necessarily damage a career permanently. According to her: “I don’t care about what people will say but I know you’re still younger and you still care, and you still want to be perceived in a certain way. But at the end of the day what is important? Is it the blog post for two weeks, two months? Can we be in the news for six months? There’s definitely going to be a backlash will it affect your music career? No.” She went on to reference a past professional experience involving a client dispute: “So one time in my career… when I worked with Toke Makinwa and there were issues that she complained about and it escalated because she came to social media to rant about it. It felt like she spoilt my business at that point.” But my highest paying client came out of all that rubbish and he met through that saga. And his house was two. And I didn’t just do his house. He gave me his friend’s other house. So I got two projects from that craziness. What am I trying to say yeah, I’m not saying you may not, let’s say if this comes out you may have a backlash but everything will still work in your favour. Your career will not go down.”
