Teni blows hot over being called female artist

Legit.ng earlier reported that the singer expressed her annoyance at being called a female artist.

According to her, people need to remove the 'female' tag and just refer to them as artists.

Not stopping there, she bragged about how they were the "baddest" at music, performances and everything else.
