Teniola Apata, the renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter known as Teni, recently addressed criticism from Nigerians who questioned her acceptance of Davido as her elder brother despite being of similar age.
Her response was prompted by an interviewer who inquired about a past video where Davido referred to her as his younger sister, eliciting displeasure from some netizens.
Teni, known for hits like “Malaika,” robustly defended her relationship with Davido, dismissing those who were upset by the age-mate dynamic.
She emphasized her desire to collaborate with Davido on her latest album, Wondaland, revealing a chance encounter on the road while attempting to visit his house unannounced.
She added that the song “For You” with Davido was a massive success and Davido had to cancel his meeting and do everything they wanted for the song’s music video.
She added that as an artiste she knows worth it takes to cancel a meeting worth multi-million of naira because she wants to do a music video for another artiste noting that some will not submit themselves for this.
Teni said there was nothing wrong with Davido referring to her as his younger sister because they are age mates as she makes reference to her driver who calls her by the name “Madam”.
Teni said; “Davido gave me a big hit, he was also humble & patient with me. People are mad for saying I’m calling him my elder brother even though we’re the same age.”
