Teniola Apata, also known as Teni, has revealed that she was diagnosed with a potentially fatal throat infection in July.
Teni revealed this in an Instagram post about her battle with a throat illness and temporary voice loss.
In a now-trending social media video, the singer said that her doctor encouraged her to have surgery to avoid permanently losing her voice.
“While recording my second album, “Tears of the Sun,” in July 2023, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening throat infection.
“After different bouts of temporary voice loss, my doctors advised me to undergo a major operation or risk permanent voice loss. I was hospitalized in September 2023 after repeated cases of exhaustion. I had lots of injectables in five days.
“October 2023, I mildly recovered my singing voice after seeking medical assistance despite not undergoing surgery. November 2023: I am fully back on stage. My new single ‘Malaika’ is my song of praise and thanksgiving to God for his mercy and grace,” she said.
