Chidinma has become the first ever female artist to top the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10 Powered by Star Music.  ’E Mi Ni Baller‘, the stunning video shot by Clarence Peters and featuring label mates Tha Suspect and Illbliss, has kicked former number ones P-Square off the top spot after their two week run.
