Singer , Teni Apata , was recently the centre of attention on social media when a music critic, Osagie Alonge , said she had no business being a singer because of her looks .
When Sunday Scoop reached out to Teni , her manager , Edobor Redman , said they were not disturbed about the comment , as it was just an opinion . Redman said , “ It is normal and everyone has their different opinions on an issue or about an individual . In a way , it was good for Teni too , as it has made her more popular among Nigerians . An opinion of someone cannot stop Teni ’ s focus. ”
He stated that when the story circulated , Osagie sent messages to tender an apology . He said , “ You know Teni has crazy fans ; all the reactions online were in our favour. We were just relaxed about it and we didn ’ t need to say a word . They have been sending people who know us to beg us and I think he ( Osagie) tried to reach us himself too. ”
Speaking on Teni ’ s reaction to Osagie’ s comment on her , Edobor stated , “ She just felt it was his own opinion ; she is not bothered about it. For her , she is only focused on where she is going. She made a promise to Nigerians that she would bring home a Grammy award and she is working towards that . ”
