Fans Raise Alarm Over Teni’s New Look As Singer Appears Unrecognizable in Valentine's Visuals
- Teni released ‘Labubu’ as a mid-tempo romantic anthem, featuring a dream-like music video with cake, love-themed decor
- Despite the beautiful aesthetic of the video, thousands of fans have flooded the comment sections expressing shock at the singer’s "frail" appearance
- This isn't the first time the singer’s size has made headlines; she previously revealed she lost 75 pounds through a strict "one-meal-a-day" diet
Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has become a major talking point online after releasing her Valentine’s Day single Labubu.
The mid-tempo Afrobeats love song, which dropped on Friday, February 14, was meant to be a special gift for her fans.
The singer promoted the track across her social media platforms, sharing clips from the accompanying music video.

However, while many listeners praised the romantic tune and playful concept, a different conversation soon took over social media.
In the visuals for Labubu, Teni appears in a flowing white gown, surrounded by people in colourful Labubu costumes in a love-themed setting.
But instead of focusing only on the music, many fans began discussing the singer’s appearance. Viewers pointed out that Teni looked significantly slimmer than they were used to seeing.
As the conversation grew, many social media users began revisiting Teni’s past comments about her body transformation.
Back in 2023, the Uyo Meyo crooner had spoken openly about losing weight. She explained that her transformation came from a strict diet that lasted two months.
At the time, rumours had circulated suggesting she underwent surgery. The singer firmly dismissed the claims, calling such procedures life-threatening and something she was too scared to attempt.
“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.
