Teni during the interview said she sings whenever she is down and when she is in a very good mood and advised her fans and those listening to her to ensure they express themselves while they are alive.
Speaking during the chat, she said, “My father died when I was two years old. If you die today, life goes on. You don’t get to express yourself.
“Expressing yourself is very important. The people that judge you, they will die too. So, they would die with their own stories. You die with your own story. I’m living my life because this is my term to let the world know who I am.
“It’s my term to sing when I’m feeling down, when I’m feeling up. It’s my term to express myself. I’m not going to be here forever. None of us are leaving this world alive.
“On my grave, I want them to write, ‘She lived life on her own terms.’ Yes, I want to die happy. I’m going to die empty.
“A lot of people are carrying so much greatness in them but are too afraid to express themselves. Trust me, the graveyard is full of so many dreams and talents. Things that could have changed the world.”
