Afrobeat singer, Teniola Apata, also known as Teni, has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
In a video shared on Instagram, the singer disclosed how she was diagnosed with a throat infection that required surgery if she wanted to retain her voice.
She said she was hospitalised in September after she had fallen ill over the infection.
Teni said, “While recording my second album ‘Tears of the Sun’ in July 2023, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening throat infection.
“After different bouts of temporary voice loss, my doctors advised me to undergo a major operation or risk permanent voice loss.
“I was hospitalised in September 2023 after repeated cases of exhaustion. I had lots of injectables in five days.
“October 2023, I mildly recovered my singing voice after seeking medical assistance despite not undergoing surgery. November 2023: I am fully back on stage. My new single ‘Malaika’ is my song of praise and thanksgiving to God for his mercy and grace.”
The singer had recently dropped her signature weight leading to a more slimmer Teni.
