EKO HOT BLOG reports that Teni is a multitalented, and free-spirited award-winning Nigerian singer, songwriter, and entertainer. Teni swiftly rose to fame and stardom in the Nigerian music industry because people could relate to her lyrics.
Teni The Entertainer Early Life & Education
Teniola Apata, who is popularly referred to as Teni hails from Ekiti State. She was born on 23 December 1992 in Lagos to Mr and Mrs Apata, as the 9th of 10 children. Her father was a retired Brigadier General before he was assassinated in 1995 when Teni was just 2 years old.
Teni attended Apata Memorial High School – a school owned by her late father in Lagos. After secondary school, Teni went to the United States of America (USA) to get a degree in Business Administration at the American Intercontinental University. She is the younger sister, of the popular singer – Niniola.
Her music is versatile, as anything around her inspires her. She loves Wasiu Ayinde’s songs, and this reflects in her songs as well. Music is spiritual to Teni, as she believes she can change people’s narratives with her music.
As a child, she was in the school band, where she played the drums. Also, as a child, she and her siblings weren’t allowed to go out, so they always stayed in the corridor singing on top of their voices.
Teniola loves playing basketball, so, if she wasn’t a singer, she most likely would have been a basketballer. She is also interested in business, charity, and tech. Teni attributes her high level of confidence to her parents, especially her mum.

Teni The Entertainer Controversy
Oluwaseyi Akerele, a Nigerian record producer better known as Shizzi, has engaged Teni Apata, the musician, in a war of words on Twitter over the production of ‘Case’, her hit single.
Teni released ‘Case’ in 2018 and the song has continued to pull the strings in the music space.
The drama started on Friday when Teni took to her Twitter page to advise her fans to walk away from those she called “users”. She had said such groups often use people and dump them thereafter.
“Users have no pity, they’ll use you and feel no remorse, don’t let that crown shift. Walk away,” she wrote.
Shizzi, however, taunted the musician over the post, claiming she is not in a position to give such a tip considering what she did to him.
The record producer also claimed that he produced ‘Case’ for Teni in 2018 but the singer then gave the song to her in-house producer to reproduce it without giving him the necessary credit.
“Oh you don dey feel am? Them don dey serve you breakfast already? See who’s talking about users???” he queried.
“You, that took a song that I produced with you “Case” and you went and gave your in-house producer to reproduce it without my consent and you released the song and your guy “Nurse Dolor” endorsed it with no remorse till 2day.., you’re talking about users.. nah stop it!”
In her reaction, the ‘For You’ singer dismissed the claim, arguing that she only parted ways with the record producer because he “signed me with no plans and wanted to waste my life.”
The musician also dared Shizzi to drop the song’s stems if he indeed produced the track as claimed.
In audio production, stem refers to a group of audio sources mixed together, usually by one person, to be dealt with downstream as one unit.
“Drop the stems if you really produced it. Drop the stems in 10 minutes or you’re a lil bitch,” she had fired back.
