Born into the Adekunle family in December, during the early 1990s, Zikid Spiritual hails from Ondo state, Nigeria, although he spent his early life in Abuja. In a recent interview, Zikid Spiritual shared that his stage name was born during his secondary school days. His friends would playfully refer to him as “Zee” due to his use of a particular bath soap called Zee, and in response, he humorously adopted the name “Spiritual.” Little did he know that this playful nickname would eventually become his stage identity.
In Nigeria, the addition of “Spiritual” to a person’s name often raises eyebrows, with many associating it with diabolical or occult practices. However, Zikid Spiritual clarifies that his chosen name holds no connection to such beliefs. He wants to distance himself from any misconceptions and emphasize that his name is purely a product of youthful banter.
