When asked what success in her career meant to her, Teni stated that what she would describe as success in her career is to be able to break boundaries and prove to people that said no to her, that she has been able to make it without their help.
Teni again registered that she is grateful as to how far she has come in her career in the past two years.
However, the jovial singer and social media sensation said that before the fame she was faced with rejection from different music executives and A&Rs.
She was then asked by the host some of the reasons why people said no to her to which she replied “I’m fat…and my dressing…but these are the very things that have worked for me.”
