‘Call Me Evangelist Tonto’ – Tonto Dikeh Drops ‘King’ Title Over Spiritual Directive

Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has officially renounced her widely known “King” moniker, declaring that she will no longer be addressed by the title.

In a social media announcement on Saturday, the actress revealed that the decision was made in obedience to what she described as a directive from the Holy Spirit. She stated that going forward, she prefers to be called Evangelist Tonto Dikeh, Tonto Dikeh, Aunty Tonto, or Big T.

“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,” she wrote.

Dikeh explained that the move signifies a new chapter in her spiritual journey, marking a transition from her past struggles to a renewed life aligned with God’s purpose.

“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 added.

The actress’ announcement has since sparked reactions online, with fans and followers weighing in on her spiritual rebranding and public declaration.
