Teniola Apata, widely known as Teni, recently stirred up excitement on social media by humorously challenging her fellow female artists to a fight. In a video she posted on her Instagram page, Teni voiced her dissatisfaction with the current state of the female music industry, describing it as "dull and boring."
She playfully suggested that the industry could use some drama and conflict to make things more interesting. Teni proposed that artists should create some controversy to liven up the Afrobeat scene, only to collaborate later. She humorously suggested that Ayra Starr and Tems could engage in an online beef, while she herself would face off with Yemi Alade in a physical altercation.
She stated, “I have said it before and I will say it again. This female industry is too boring, it’s too boring! Tell me why Tems and Ayra Starr no fit see themselves and tell themselves, ‘Your papa, your papa papa.“
“Tell me why I no fit dey see Tiwa Savage and tell her ‘ wetin dey do you?’ Shey we don’t see what’s going on on the other side, everybody is just here doing love, sometimes e be like say make I just give Yemi Alade headbutt. Make we see ourselves for outside, make security separate us.
“Let us spice this thing up and collaborate later. 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.”
The video has sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans and fellow artists both entertained and intrigued by Teni's playful challenge. Her comments appear to be in good fun, aiming to bring a bit of excitement and camaraderie to the industry.
