The Women In The Nigerian Music Industry Are Too Boring – Teni

Popular singer, Teni has come out to complain about the peace and general lack of beef between female singers in the industry. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, the reality is that the female side of the Nigerian music industry is too boring since everybody is focusing on collaborations while ignoring fights that will spice things up.

Teni added that the women doing music in Nigeria need to be more dramatic to entertain the fans.

Her words, “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.”

WOW.
