Nigerian singer Teni the Entertainer has stirred conversation across social media after bluntly rejecting a young man’s request for financial help on X.
The fan, posting under the handle @lyyrree, had reached out to the music star in desperation. With his convocation ceremony happening the next day, he pleaded for assistance to buy a suit, writing:
“Mummy of Lagos, tomorrow is my convocation and I have not bought a suit. Help me!”
Teni Fires Back
Instead of offering support, Teni gave a sharp response—one that many online users did not see coming.
She questioned why the young man bypassed family and friends to solicit help from a celebrity he had never met.
Her straightforward tone ignited immediate reactions, splitting users between those who applauded her firmness and those who felt she could have handled the situation more gently.
Public Reactions Pour In
The exchange triggered waves of commentary:
@ameboibadan joked, “That was harsh. Apologize to the guy before I arrest you!”
@maxvayshia chimed in with a nod to Teni’s own lyrics: “Nobody go ask if you don chop… adulthood na scam. The story touch me, but I no fit send money oo.”
@gtagames added: “I’d rather get ignored than get roasted like this.”
