Nigeria-born artiste Zikid Spiritual with real name Adekunle Abiodun Michael is a singer, producer, and songwriter with so much social media attention and love.
But the rave about how his stage name came about, remains a story yet untold. Born into the family of Mr & Mrs Adekunle in the early 1990s.
He hails from Ondo state, Nigeria where he had his secondary school but early life in Abuja, Nigeria. In an interview with us, Zikid Spiritual said, When I was in secondary school, I do use a particular bath soap then called Zee, my friends always call me by that name and I replied by saying spiritual. Not knowing this will eventually evolve into my stage name”.
The norm in Nigeria is when an individual carries a name with an attachment of “Spiritual” many feel it could be for diabolical reasons, but he further cleared the air on how far his coined name is far from that thought.
With the enormous social media attention ZIKID SPIRITUAL is getting from the most popular Nigerian pages, Zikid has gotten lots of criticism and support. Some of this criticism end up converting into their love for his craft in the music industry. But this also put him in the seat of envy as many feel his attention is money powered, especially as Zikid is an unsigned artiste.
