Teni Laments Northboi’s Role in Blocking Her Wizkid Collaboration

Popular Nigerian singer Teni Apata, known professionally as Teni, has voiced her disappointment at missing out on a potential music collaboration with Grammy-winning artist Wizkid, blaming the incident on renowned producer Northboi.

In a recently shared video clip, Teni revealed that a track featuring her and Wizkid had already been recorded. However, the project was never released due to the previous conflict between Wizkid and the producer Northboi. Teni held Northboi accountable for the missed opportunity and expressed her deep frustration over the issue.

“Wizkid don do like 10 features but na only my own he no drop and na because of that useless boy Northboi. Na God go punish you. I no go forgive you. I no fit forgive you. God go punish you, Northboi,” she said angrily in Pidgin.

According to Teni, she believes the disagreement between Wizkid and Northboi directly led to her track being shelved, unlike the other collaborations that were successfully released.

The History Behind the Northboi and Wizkid Fallout

Back in 2019, Northboi and Wizkid had a public spat after the producer accused Wizkid of failing to give him appropriate production credit for the hit single “Joro”, which Northboi produced. The tension between them escalated further when Northboi alleged that Wizkid had threatened him with a firearm after he requested a formal production agreement.

This dramatic fallout became one of the most talked-about industry feuds at the time, leading to a strained professional relationship between both parties.

Signs of Reconciliation Emerged in 2022

In what seemed like a turn of events, in 2022, viral footage surfaced showing Wizkid and Northboi reunited in the studio, suggesting a possible reconciliation.

In the video, Wizkid announced,

“More Love, Less Ego, the album on the way. I’m here with my brother for real. We’re back, baby… Northboi [laughs].”

Despite this reunion, it appears the past incident still lingers in the minds of some artists, such as Teni, who feel affected by the once-hostile dynamic between the two music figures.
