Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has responded to a boxing challenge from fellow singer Teni, daring her to “pick a date” for the proposed celebrity bout.
The exchange comes days after reality TV personality Phyna defeated actress Nkechi Blessing in a celebrity boxing match in Lagos.
Teni, whose real name is Teniola Apata, issued the challenge in a video shared on Instagram, proposing a fight with a potential prize of N3 billion.
“MAMA!!! make we fight @tiwasavage 3billion later I go apologise for outside the boxing ring,” she captioned the video.
In the footage, Teni also taunted Tiwa while insisting she was ready to face the singer in the ring.
“Let’s fight, Tiwa Savage and me. Mummy, I will beat you till you enter bush. Me that’s is angry, I wouldn’t even look at Jamal’s face,” she said.
“I will cut my eyes. One, one billion. How much them dey buy all these cars? If they pay us N1.5 billion, can I buy a Bugatti? Make we first start from there. Mama, make we fight. Tiwa, I beat you, then sing ‘My Darling’ for you.”
Tiwa responded to the challenge in the comment section with a brief but confident message: “Pick a date”.
However, no promoter, official contract or date has been announced for the proposed showdown.
The exchange follows the recent celebrity boxing clash between Phyna and Nkechi Blessing. Their bout came after a social media dispute in which the actress accused the reality star of “frequently engaging in online confrontations,” alleging that she “fights with everybody”.
The celebrity boxing trend has also featured a contest between skit maker Carter Efe and rapper Speed Darlington, with Efe winning by technical knockout.
