Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has officially dropped the “King” from her public name, saying she is now stepping into a new spiritual chapter.

In a recent social media post, Dikeh shared that she will now be called Evangelist Tonto Dikeh, Tonto Dikeh, Aunty Tonto, or Big T. She explained that the change comes from a directive of the Holy Spirit.

“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.

The actress said the decision reflects her journey from past struggles to spiritual growth. “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.

This move marks a notable shift in Dikeh’s personal and public life, signalling a stronger focus on her faith and spiritual identity.

Tonto Dikeh’s name change highlights her commitment to her spiritual journey. Fans and followers can expect her to continue engaging publicly, but under titles that reflect her faith and personal growth.
