Singer Tekno, opens up about losing his voice which caused him to go for surgery, his baby mama – Lola Rae, the Ubi Franklin & Iyanya saga, and more in a recent interview with Daddy Freeze.
The artiste revealed why he went on a sudden hiatus, explaining that he had cracked his voice while performing one day and things went downhill from there. Having to fly to London when things got serious, and then to the US.
He talks about how he had to keep cancelling shows, spending thousands of dollars on consultancy both online and offline. He had been told he had acid re-flux and a doctor told him it was pretty serious as the irritation had affected his vocal chords.
“I had to go mute for 3 weeks, using an app to communicate with people. Eventually, I had to get surgery done after series of gruesome tests. Surgeons had to install a metallic substance to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into my oesophagus,” Tekno shared.
After the surgery, he had to fly to the US for the Beyonce project (“The Lion King: The Gift” album). Around the time he was going through all this was when photos of him and Drake made the rounds on social media. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make music together because of the situation with his voice.
Confirming his exit from MMMG, when asked if he was ever going back, he answered; “Hell no”. He disclosed that the label was getting 60% of all his profits, adding that he doesn’t know if “Iyanya got anything”.
“I won’t say anything about the Ubi Franklin and Iyanya thing because if I do, it’ll be crazy,” he said.
