Nigerian singer Teniola Atinuke Apata, popularly known as Teni, has challenged her senior colleague, Tiwa Savage, to a boxing bout, joking that she would defeat the award-winning singer in the ring.
Teni made the challenge in a video shared on social media, where she said she was willing to face Tiwa if the fight came with a N1.5bn purse.
The “My Darling” singer also joked that she would not be distracted by Tiwa’s son, Jamal, during the proposed bout, insisting that she would focus entirely on the fight.
“Let’s fight—Tiwa Savage and me. Mummy, I will beat you till you enter bush. Me that’s is angry, I wouldn’t even look at Jamal’s face. I will cut my eyes. One, one billion. How much them dey buy all these cars? If they pay us N1.5 billion, can I buy a Bugatti? Make we first start from there. Mama, make we fight. Tiwa, I beat you, then sing “My Darling” for you.”
Rather than dismissing the challenge, Tiwa responded directly in the comment section and appeared to accept the proposed contest.
