Throwback Times Nigeria has digged up complete biography and personal life of Nigerian once talk-of-the-town female rapper and afrobeat singer - Genevieve Ogbuewu, professionally known as Splash or Splash Baby. She remains one of the most talented female rap artistes to emerge from the country's secular music industry. Although she has largely stayed away from the spotlight in recent years, the award-winning rapper is reportedly thriving in Canada and pursuing further education.
Interestingly, many fans still debate her exact place of origin within Ebonyi State, with claims linking her to both Ezza South Local Government Area and Ikwo Local Government Area.
This biography reveals everything known about Splash, including her background, career, real name, age, state of origin, net worth, marital status, criticisms, and notable associates.
Background:
Genevieve Ogbuewu, popularly known by her stage name Splash, was born on November 27, 1987, in Ebonyi State, Nigeria.
According to several accounts, Splash is an indigene of Ezza South Local Government Area, specifically Nsokkara (Achara-Ukwu/Agom Ugbala Ukworji). However, other sources and individuals maintain that she is from Amagu, Ikwo Local Government Area, where she reportedly grew up.
One widely shared account states that Splash was raised in Amagu, Ikwo, in the home of former Minister of Culture and Tourism, Ambassador Frank Ogbuewu, which explains why she bears the surname Ogbuewu. Some community members claim she followed her elder sister to the Ogbuewu family during childhood, while others insist she is the biological daughter of Frank Nchita Ogbuewu (Onwa) from Amagu Ikwo. There are also claims that she was born to her biological mother before her mother got married.

Because of these differing accounts, her family background continues to generate discussions among members of the Ezza and Ikwo communities.
Despite the divergent accounts, Splash is widely recognized as one of Ebonyi State's finest music exports.
She was also reportedly a chorister at Dominion City Church, Abakaliki, during her university days.
Career
Splash attended her primary and secondary education at Enugu. She proceeded to Ebonyi State University, where she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in English.
After graduating, she relocated to Lagos, where she pursued music career professionally.
Her breakthrough came after signing with August Pee Entertainment, where she released several songs that established her as one of Nigeria's leading female rappers.
She later signed with Bong House Media, owned by filmmaker Mbong Amata.
Known for her energetic rap delivery and unique radical lyrical pattern, Splash became one of the few female artists to compete successfully in Nigeria's male-dominated rap scene.
Although she has remained largely inactive in the Nigerian music industry for some time, reports indicate that she is currently based abroad (Canada), where she is focusing on her education and personal development.
Many fans believe that if she eventually returns to music, her comeback will be warmly welcomed.

"She was never serious with her career, changing record label like pant!! After she released Church Agbasa that brought her small fame in 2013, she went to sleep and now woke up in 2015 to find out that actually Church has Gbasala for her because she has faded into oblivion."
