Teni Reveals When She Started Drinking Alcohol

During a recent interview on the Zero Conditions Podcast, Nigerian singer Teni shared a surprising revelation about her relationship with alcohol.

Despite her years in the music industry, she revealed that she refrained from consuming alcohol and did not smoke until the year 2021.

The revelation unfolded when one of the hosts offered her a drink, and she declined. The host, taken aback, inquired if she had stopped drinking, which Teni confirmed. She explained that it wasn’t a challenging decision for her because she had only started drinking in 2021.

Prompted by the host’s surprise, Teni went on to share the backstory of why she began drinking, providing insight into this unexpected aspect of her personal life.

She began:-

“I began drinking in 2021. I’m a naturally adventurous person. I’ve been in this industry for six years without drinking or smoking. I started drinking for fun, and the first time was in Lagos.

“At home, I thought, ‘You guys are always getting drunk, what does it feel like? Let me just try it.’ So, I drank Henny, but I didn’t get drunk. I was waiting for it to happen, but it didn’t, so I just went to sleep. Everybody was like, ‘Aaah, Teni.’”
