Teni responds to fans dragging Davido for referring to her as a ‘younger sister.’
Nigerian singer Teni has clarified that she holds no grievances over fellow artist Davido referring to her as his younger sister.
During her interview on the Zero Conditions podcast, she shared the various ways in which Davido has supported her as a colleague in the music industry.
Teni expressed her gratitude and questioned the sensibility of those who took issue with the terminology, emphasizing that she is indifferent to what Davido calls her. She highlighted the significant impact of their collaboration on her song, turning it into a massive hit.
Further showcasing Davido’s generosity, Teni recounted an incident where the acclaimed artist rescheduled his commitments to extend the time allotted for shooting a music video with her. Using the analogy of her driver respectfully addressing her as “madam” despite his seniority, Teni aimed to counter critics.
This clarification comes in the wake of Teni’s recent recovery from an illness that temporarily affected her speech.
The artist’s statements aim to redirect the narrative away from perceived controversies surrounding Davido’s choice of words, highlighting mutual respect and collaboration within the music industry.
