According to Peller, once a woman is in her 40s, she will no longer be able to give birth. Teni responded to the TikTok star by schooling him on the subject of women’s bodies.
The 32-year-old musician asked Peller if he was educated because he sounded like an illiterate. She then told him about how science has made it possible for older women to still have children through processes like egg freezing and IVF, among other things.

Teni advised Peller not to just open his mouth and say rubbish about women’s bodies and that he should get educated on the subject so as not to embarrass himself in public.
The Money singer said:
“Are you educated at all? Are you in tune with science? Do you know about freezing your eggs? You sound like an illiterate and I need to educate you. You don’t just open your mouth and talk about women stuff like that. There’s something called time, there’s something called not just having kids when you’re not ready. You have to have kids when you’re ready so you can spend time with them. It’s not just money, it’s not just to get a nanny for them to be at home. They have to feel loved so when I’m ready. Don’t worry about the 40 and 45-year-old women, there’s something called science. They can freeze their eggs, they can do IVF, go and read about it. You don’t just open your mouth and say rubbish. Be educated and learn about women, you were born by a woman, don’t just open your mouth and talk anyhow.”
