Teniola Apata, the Nigerian singer known as Teni, has slammed an Uber driver who called her out for not tipping him.

The man simply — identified as King Parley — called out the ‘Malaika’ singer via X after she gifted money to Deborah Loveth, the viral wife who revealed that she wakes up at 4:50 am to cook for her husband.

While sharing a photograph of himself and Teni, the Uber driver revealed that he picked her up twice in Los Angeles and even played her song but she did not tip him.

“I pick you up twice while I was still doing Uber in Los Angeles and I even play your music and you no even tip 1 cent. We can be better. Peace,” he wrote.

“Besides I only make like 6$ from her two trip cus na short distance , no be say she order uber black wey I go talk say I make money , na regular Uber x she order and she no still tip and I still burn my data play her music.”

In her reply, the 31-year-old singer asked the cab driver if he needed toothpaste and deodorant — insinuating he should pay attention to his body and mouth odour.

“Na toothpaste and deodorant gangan you need,” she tweeted.

Teni gained prominence after releasing ‘Fargin’ in 2017.

In 2021, the singer delivered ‘Wondaland’, her debut album. She has made a mark in the Nigerian music industry with numerous hit songs.

The singer put out ‘Tears of the Sun’, her highly anticipated album, late last year.

This was shortly after she recalled her battle with a “life-threatening” throat infection.
