Nigerian singer Teni Apata has caused a buzz online after making an emotional appeal to her fellow music industry colleagues, sparking widespread attention and discussion on social media.
Teni Apata, sister of Niniola, took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the state of the female music industry, describing it as “too boring” due to the lack of drama, conflicts, or public feuds among female artists.
In contrast, she pointed out that the male music industry is often marked by ongoing beefs and drama.
Teni playfully encouraged her female colleagues to shake things up and create some excitement by embracing controversy and competition, suggesting they take a cue from the male artists and “spice things up” in the industry.
“I have said it before, and I will say it again. This female industry is too boring. Because tell me why Ayra Starr and Tems no fit see themselves and say ‘Ur Papa’. Tell me why I can’t see Tiwa and be telling her, ‘Mama, what’s wrong with you? Where are you coming from? You don’t see what is happening on the other side? Everybody is just doing love and harmony. Let me see Yemi Alade and beat her, make we see ourselves for outside and spice things up, and we will still collaborate. Make we dey give them Saint Obi for this music game”

Previously, Teni had threatened to confront a critic’s baby’s father after receiving a negative review of her song, which sparked backlash on social media.
A Twitter user criticized Teni’s response, saying she thought she had delivered a clever comeback but had actually failed.
Another user called Teni “unrefined” or “razz”, prompting Teni to retaliate by mentioning her international travel status, implied by her possession of a blue passport, in an attempt to assert her superiority.
