AFCON: Teni Begs Super Eagles to avenge Grammy loss of Nigerian stars

Nigerian Singer Teniola Apata aka Teni, has urged the Super Eagles of Nigeria to defeat South Africa in Wednesday’s African Cup of Nations (AFCON) Semi-final encounter against South Africa.

The singer reacted to the loss of some Nigerian artistes to South African singer, Tyla, during the 66th Grammys last night.

Media had reported how Nigerian quintet; Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake and Olamide were snubbed at the 66th Grammys on Sunday.

Tyla, the only non-Nigerian nominee in the maiden Best African Music Performance category, was given the award.

Reacting in a video shared via Instagram, Teni pleaded with the Super Eagles players to avenge the Grammy loss of their compatriots by defeating South Africa in the semifinal clash in Cote D’Ivoire.

She specifically called on Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and their teammates to aim for a decisive victory over the South African team.

“Grammy there’s a problem. We have many parties. You have killed our groove. South Africa, Tyla’s ‘Water.’ Alright. Osimhen, over to you. Lookman, over to you. South Africa, you will dance Amapiano after your AFCON defeat. You killed my groove. Grammy why?,” she said in a mixture of Yoruba and English.
