Meet Chika Oranika, Nigerian-American Rapper Blowing Up Twitter. She got viewed over 1.4 million times

At a time female rappers are having a tough time stepping out of the shadow in a male-dominated industry in Nigeria, a Nigerian-American rapper is fast gaining popularity and amassing endorsements from top hip-hop heads, including the legendary Ice T, Wale and Funkmaster Flex.

The twenty-one-year-old Alabama-born Chika Oranika, or just CHIKA, is having an April to remember.

On April 21, she dropped a video – a sort of reply to J. Cole’s ‘1985’, a track of his latest album, KOD.

The video resonated with the Alabama native’s followers and has been viewed over 1.4 million times and has 24 retweets and 63 thousand likes.
