Nigerian singer Teni has announced she’s setting out to lose weight, bemoaning that “diet is not your mate” when it comes to the difficult process.
The award-winning afropop star took to social media to share her intentions to start a health and fitness journey in the new year.
She specifically mentioned fellow entertainer Real Warri Pikin as inspiration, who has publicly documented her own weight loss success in recent months.
Teni’s announcement garnered excited reactions from fans, who applauded her decision and wished her well. The singer has built a beloved brand as an unapologetic advocate for body positivity and self-love.
However, Teni made it clear she is not embarking on weight loss due to external pressure, but for her own fulfillment. She noted that health should be the focus above all else.
