He was ready to sacrifice it all for me to become music star – Tonto Dikeh heartbroken over Solidstar’s mental illness

Seasoned Nigerian actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has expressed sadness over the mental health challenges being faced by musician, Joshua Iniyezo aka Solidstar.

It may be recalled that his brother, Joseph Iniyezo cried out for help in a video shared on the artiste’s Instagram page, saying he is going through some mental health issues and in desperate need of support.

Joseph revealed that Solidstar has been critically sick for a while now that’s why he has been away from the microphone for some time.

In reaction via her Instastory days after the plea, Tonto indicated her desire to reach out to the management or family of Solidstar.

Tonto Dikeh recounted how the singer made efforts to ensure that she had a successful music career years ago.

[He] Never charged a penny, never get a gift, not even a hug. Such a selfless human. I’m hurting that he has strong men and he is still outside. O wrong.”
