Popular Nigerian singer Teni Apata, widely known as Teni the Entertainer, has once again left fans laughing uncontrollably after posting a hilarious video of herself struggling to breathe while wearing a tight corset.
The energetic music star, known for her vibrant personality and comedic flair, shared the video on social media, humorously lamenting the discomfort caused by the fashionable outfit. In the clip, Teni could be seen gasping for air while playfully scolding herself for choosing to wear the corset.
“When I went to the tailor myself and said they should sew me a corset, now I cannot breathe, I can’t eat, I can’t drink water,” she lamented in a mix of laughter and mock frustration. Her dramatic delivery left many fans cracking up in the comment section.
Still in character, Teni jokingly cried out for medical attention, saying, “Help me call an orthopaedic doctor, my spinal cord! I don’t know who sent me work.” The video quickly went viral, amassing thousands of views and comments from amused fans across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
Fans react with laughter and admiration
As expected, Teni’s playful rant sparked massive reactions online, with fans mixing laughter and admiration for her relatable honesty.
One fan teased, “Corset = casket. Congratulations, see as you fine, figure 8!” while another joked, “You wan do fashion, enjoy your fashion. No pain, no shape!” Others commended her for embracing her natural personality without pretence, calling her “the most real celebrity in Nigeria.”
Fans also praised Teni for turning discomfort into comedy gold, saying she remains one of the few stars who can turn everyday struggles into viral entertainment. “Which tailor help Teni sew this cloth na? She’s too real abeg!” another fan commented, accompanied by laughing emojis.
