The self-acclaimed King of Music, Teni has stirred the hornet’s nest by launching an apparent attack on feminism on social media.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, the Billionaire star said there’s nothing wrong in a woman going down on one knee to propose to her boyfriend.
Teni added that since feminists claim equality with men, they should be free to propose to any man they like as men traditionally do.
“By the way, it’s not wrong for a woman to propose to her man!” she quipped.
“Y’all are feminists till it’s time to bend on one knee to ask a man to marry you! Aren’t we equal?” she added.

But Teni’s comments caused a stir on Twitter, with many commentators divided on the propriety of a woman proposing to a man.

Teni this isn’t what Feminism is about!! It’s just like people bringing up switching on the Generator and carrying heavy things into the conversation. Let’s educate ourselves!

Teni being dragged for saying the truth Shows the level of hypocrisy here… The so called feminists always preach equality only when it suits them or their agenda…buh when they would have to swallow their pride and reduce their ego… Feminism go lost

Feminism is about equality and women having the same privileges as men, and Teni is talking about this equality in ALL RAMIFICATIONS.
But our feminists still want extra privileges by waiting for men to bend a knee, they can't, cause it spells desperation? LOL pic.twitter.com/CMfu4BuGET

There is nothing bad in what Teni asked Sha, we all know she is talking about our online Tweminists.
So answer the question, why can't a woman bend on one knee to ask a man to marry her? Aren’t we equal?

All of a sudden Teni’s music is kpangolo music after you’ve done several Snapchat videos with her music.
Fear God na😭😂

They have started with her music, they will soon enter her weight.
Teni will be dragged non-stop for 24 hours, only Football Twitter can save her & even that is not enough.
How could she "do such a mistake"
😭

Teni stated her view on feminism , rather than have a constructive discuss , self glorified e-feminists are dissing her music & weight … defeating the true fight for equality . Goes a long way to show you don’t understand the rudiments of feminism, she has a right to a voice .
