Teni, the Nigerian singer and entertainer, has responded to critics regarding a recent video she shared of her interaction with socialite Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, also known as IBD Dende, on a plane.

Yesterday, Teni faced backlash from netizens for her actions in the video. She greeted IBD Dende in a manner deemed unconventional, leading to online criticism and name-calling. Some have highlighted the contrast between her refusal to shake hands with President Buhari and her prostration for IBD, a figure surrounded by controversy.

Teni took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to drop a tweet to address the issue. She said:

"I GOT 20 KIDS IN SCHOOL, 10 PRIVATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, 3 IN BABCOCK, 3 IN C.U, 3 IN REEDEMERS AND 1 IN AUN, 

"10 KIDS IN PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS, 3 IN THE EAST,  3 IN LAGOS AND 1 IN JOS. ALL IN BOARDING SCHOOL. I PAY AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR FEES, AND IM ACTIVE IN THEIR LIVES. 

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ???? AS A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY"

She later dropped another tweet on the matter where she mentioned meeting IBD in 2014 and recalled how kind he was to her, even before her rise to fame. For her, encounters with him are always filled with warmth. She emphasized that she had no prior knowledge of any criminal activities linked to him. She also made it clear that she does not support criminals and believes that the legal system should handle such matters.

She wrote:

"MET IBD IN 2014 AND HE WAS SO GOOD TO ME, EVEN BEFORE I BLEW UP, SO WHEN I SEE HIM, ITS ALWAYS LOVE. I HONESTLY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH HIM. I DO NOT SUPPORT CRIMINALS, SO LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE"
