‘No Days Off’ is the last piece in Teni’s rebrand

Teni’s entrance into the scene was heralded by the natural appeal that flows from her talent and relatability, and while several artists struggle to make the transition from internet sensation to music star, Teni was able to become a mainstay in the Afrobeats scene.

This piece takes a look at Teni’s rebrand over the years which now appears to be complete with the release of her recent single ‘No Days Off.’

Teni got her big break in 2018 and went on a blistering run of hits (‘Case’, ‘Askamaya’, ‘Uyo Meyo’) which culminated in her winning the Best Pop Song and Record of the Year at the 2019 Headies Awards.

Her introduction into the mainstream would see her become the adorable music star loved for her captivating music as well as for her sense of humor.

After becoming famous, Teni would continue to maintain her reputation as a fan favorite as she used her social media to offer the playful side that preceded her rise into the mainstream.

As Teni grew in fame, this playful side would begin to slowly dwindle down while she continued churning out her trademark records.

When she released her debut album ‘Wondaland’ in 2021, she greatly reduced the display of the adorable personality listeners were familiar with and this invariably affected consumers’ appreciation and interaction with the music.

This subtle rebrand would continue into 2022 where she underwent an impressive weight loss journey before returning with new singles which again, were overshadowed by her drastic physical alteration.

After steadily shedding off the old parts of herself, Teni is now set to entirely kill off the old body and introduce listeners to a new superstar with all-around artistic switches.

Popular social media commentator Daniel Regha has claimed it is ridiculous that Mercy Chinwo charges N10m to perform in churches.

Regha said gospel artists shouldn’t charge money for performances in church.

In a post on his Twitter handle on Thursday, Regha claimed that the church is only obligated to provide hospitality and cover their transportation costs, if necessary.

He wrote, “Mercy Chinwo charging N10m to perform in Church is ridiculous, gospel artistes shouldn’t charge a dime; The church is obligated to provide hospitality & cover the transportation costs of invitees if necessary but paying anyone to perform is wrong. A true Christian will not charge.”
