Chika revealed when that crying baby backlash “almost killed” her, Ari Lennox and Stevie Wonder had her back but urged her to “just apologize” and “get off the Internet.”

Before the release of Chika’s first album, Samson, she talked to Rolling Stone about navigating the music industry, viral fame, and her admitted struggles with mental illness. She also explained the similarities to the hard-headed biblical figure whose strength became his biggest weakness.
‘Samson’ is an impressive testimony to Chika’s (@oranicuhh) psychological and existential crises — plus her resolve to survive in spite of them.

In Chika’s case, the same creative, raw expression online that made her famous almost took more than her career.
“I feel like people used that moment as a reason to dog pile. It was completely blown out of proportion,” Chika said.
“I’ve always been a very vocal and creatively worded person. When everyone’s in a good mood, everyone understands that I’m being hyperbolic, but when it’s this thing where there’s a hill to die on, people will take the sh*t that I say and make it literal so that they can make a character indictment,” she said, adding that speaking colorfully is an occupational hazard.

As BOSSIP previously reported, Chika took to Twitter in June to vent about crying toddlers on a red-eye Delta flight.
“To the lady next to me who thought it would be a good idea to buy yourself and your twin infants first class seats on a red-eye flight, who just woke me up by bringing your screaming bastard to OUR seats to soothe her, I just bought $34 Wi-Fi at 4 a.m. to call you a stupid b*tch,” she impulsively tweeted.
Twitter dragged the hyperbolic and harsh rant and when T.I. and Tiny Harris’ daughter Zonnique Pullins came forward as the mother of one of the toddlers, all hell broke loose. Chika doubled down after Zonnique confronted her.
“And that’s why it’s STILL f*ck your kids. I complained (rudely) for a real reason. You and your busted-a** nanny just chose to be trash & lie on the internet. Again, choke,” she said.
