Is Chidinma married to Flavour?
Chidinma and Flavour are not a couple.
The two only became a topic of discussion after the romantic scene they acted in the music video for Chidinma’s hit single, “Ololufe” and also in the music video of Flavour’s song, “Iyawo mi” which was released in 2019. The videos created a lot of controversies.
Their act made fans strongly believe that they were actually in a deep relationship. But, during an interview, Chidinma denied the rumors saying they are just good friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry adding that, even if Flavour made a move on her, she wouldn’t accept because they have a brother-sister relationship and she can’t be in a romantic relationship with him.
