Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has sparked massive online conversations following the release of her Valentine’s Day single, Labubu.
The mid-tempo romantic Afrobeats track dropped on Friday, February 14, alongside a dreamy music video filled with cakes, love-themed decorations, and colorful character costumes. The release was intended as a special Valentine’s gift for fans, and the singer actively promoted the project across her social media platforms.
While many listeners praised the song’s romantic feel and creative visuals, discussions online quickly shifted toward her physical appearance.
In the music video, she appears in a flowing white gown surrounded by performers in vibrant costumes, creating a soft and love-focused aesthetic. However, many viewers noticed that she looked noticeably slimmer than before, which triggered widespread reactions across comment sections.
As conversations grew, many fans revisited her previous statements about her body transformation. In 2023, she publicly addressed her weight loss journey, revealing that she lost 75 pounds through a strict one-meal-a-day diet over a two-month period.
At the time, rumors circulated suggesting she had undergone surgery, but she strongly denied those claims and described such procedures as risky and frightening.
“I went through a lot. I went through a lot of changes. I lost weight, and some unfortunate fellows said I did surgery,” she said then.
