Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has rallied behind the Super Eagles, urging them to give their all in the semifinals against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The call to action comes in the aftermath of the disappointment faced by Nigerian musicians at the 66th Grammys, where they lost in the Best African Music Performance category to South African vocalist Tyla.
Teni specifically charged star striker Victor Osimhen and his teammates to secure victory against South Africa, viewing it as a means of avenging the setback faced by Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake, and Olamide at the Grammys.
In a video message, Teni expressed her sentiments, stating, “Grammy there’s a problem. We have many parties. You have killed our groove. South Africa, Tyla’s ‘Water.’ Alright. Victor Osimhen, over to you. Ademola Lookman, over to you. South Africa, you will dance Amapiano after your AFCON defeat. You killed my groove. Grammy why?“
