THE founder and CEO of Chippy Records, Okedara Ibitoye Ezekiel, better known as Chippy Toye, has recounted how he lost his fiancé to the arms of another man.
In a recent interview the Ogun State-born music label boss recalled: “Presently, I am not enjoying my love life because the only woman I was thinking to marry was tricked and she lost it and left me. I was heartbroken. Well, I have my son but I am with another lady now. I’m okay with that. I like my woman loyal and trustworthy. An intelligent lady with dignity is my turn on while dirtiness and a lady who doesn’t seem to be loyal turn me off.”
The Chippy Record boss, pointing out what he would like to change about the Nigerian music industry, said: “I’d love to change people’s thinking about the music business, it helps the artiste grow better if the financial resource is available. Good artistes would always perform better if they found themselves in the right business environment.”
Chippy Toye also declared his admiration for some showbiz figures whom he considered his mentors.
Among his favourite showbiz players, he spotlighted Abu Abel, whom he considered “my backbone and mentor,” and Bankuli, who according to him, “is like a father to me.” Bankuli, he avowed, “always guides me through the musical path and has been helpful to me and my label.”
