Nigerian singer, Teni has expressed grievances about the claims made by the public that she underwent liposuction surgery to lose weight.
Liposuction is a type of surgery that uses suction to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the stomach, hips, thighs, buttøcks, arms or neck.
She dismissed the claim and revealed that she went through a “strict diet” for two months to achieve her current physique.
“I went through a lot. I went through a lot of changes. I lost weight and some unfortunate fellows said I had surgery?” She said.
The “Case” hitmaker stated emphatically that her stomach would have been flat if she went under the knife to get her figure.
“If I did surgery my stomach would be flat. I wish but I was scared. Surgery is not easy. It’s life threatening. It’s not easy to go under the knife. I was on a strict diet. Ask my managers. No carbs. I was on a strict diet for two months,” she added.
As part of her healthy living, Teni said the journey taught her many lessons, though it was a difficult one.
“But it taught me discipline. The mind is also a muscle. The way you flex your arms, discipline helps you flex your mind. It was not easy. Do you know what it means for me to take people out on dinner and I can’t eat what they are eating?” She queried.
Her decision to lose weight, Teni said was as a result of how she was prone to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
“I made the decision to lose weight after I had survived life-threatening COVID-19. I had COVID-19 twice; 2020 and 2021. So, in January 2022, after the COVID-19, I just said, ‘Omo, it’s time [to lose weight],” she added.
