Move over, Nollywood, Teni is ready to bring the drama to the Nigerian music industry! The award-winning singer and all-around entertainer has taken to Instagram with a hilarious rant that’s got us all wondering: why isn’t there more beef between female artists in the Nigerian music scene?
On August 15, 2024, Teni dropped a video that is equal parts comedy and call to arms. “This female industry is too boring, it’s too boring!” she exclaimed, as if she’d been personally offended by the peace and harmony among her fellow divas. Teni’s solution? A little more spice, a little more drama, and maybe a healthy dose of headbutts—nothing serious, just a playful nudge to get things going.
Teni’s frustration is palpable. “Tell me why Tems and Ayra Starr no fit see themselves and tell themselves, ‘Your papa, your papa papa,’” she said, channeling her inner Nigerian movie villain. It’s clear she’s not asking for World War III, just a tiny, harmless rivalry that will keep us all entertained. After all, what’s life without a little “your papa” here and there?
But Teni didn’t stop there. Oh no, she took it up a notch by imagining a scenario where she runs into Tiwa Savage and throws down a “wetin dey do you?” Now, picture this: Teni vs. Tiwa, with security jumping in to keep things from getting too heated. It’s the kind of drama you’d only find in the best of Nollywood flicks, and Teni’s ready to deliver.
And just in case you were worried that Teni’s suggestions might lead to real-life beef, she quickly reassured us all. “Let us spice this thing up and collaborate later,” she said, making it clear that the drama would just be for show. Think of it as a prelude to the next big collaboration—we’re talking hits and headbutts, all in one package.
In her grand finale, Teni declared, “Fighting does not mean that we won’t collaborate later, but make we give them saint Obi for this music, I dey tell you. Let’s give them drama, proper action film.” Teni is ready to turn the Nigerian music scene into a cinematic experience, complete with action, suspense, and maybe even a plot twist or two.
So, ladies of the Nigerian music industry, the challenge has been issued. Are you ready to bring the drama? Because Teni is here for it, and we’re all waiting with our popcorn in hand. Who knew that a little friendly rivalry could be the secret ingredient to taking Afrobeats to the next level?
Thoughts: Teni might just be on to something here. Whether it’s the latest collab or the next viral moment, we can’t wait to see how the ladies of Nigerian music respond. And who knows? Maybe the next big hit will come with a side of drama, just the way Teni likes it.
