SINGER Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has admitted that Wizkid inspires her music.
In a post shared on Twitter with her followers, Teni said Wizkid is an inspiration to her and even motivated her to record her 2018 hit single, Uyo Meyo.
On how the song was recorded, the BET awards nominee had stated in a documentary, that the song was from the depth of her heart, adding that it has earned her accolades from influential people.
Her words; “Uyo Meyo is good music. I have had governors call me because of ‘Uyo Meyo’ and I sat across Dangote because of ‘Case’. Isn’t that good music? Actually, I saw Dangote twice in a row, why? Isn’t that good music? ‘Uyo Meyo’ was a song that was just from the bottom of my heart.
“I was just in my car driving to graduation and on my way to graduation, I was listening to a song I had and I called the producer and said send me the beat because the beat was so spiritual and I just started freestyling in my car and that’s just how ‘Uyo Meyo’ came out. It just came from me being grateful to God for everything thus far. For me, even being able to complete the programme, it took me 7 years to graduate from the university.”
With the song, Teni won 2019 Headies Awards‘ Best Vocal Performance (female category), and the Best Recording of the Year.
