Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, also known as Teni, has urged the Super Eagles to go all out against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Wednesday.

Teni charged star striker Victor Osimhen and his teammates to defeat South Africa in order to avenge some Nigerian musicians’ setback at the hands of South African vocalist Tyla at the 66th Grammys.

The Nigerian quintet of Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake, and Olamide lost at the 66th Grammys on Sunday, with Tyla, the only non-Nigerian candidate in the maiden Best African Music Performance category, winning the award.

In a video message, Teni pleaded with the Super Eagles players to avenge their compatriots’ Grammy loss by defeating South Africa in the semifinals at Bouaké’s Stade de la Paix in Cote D’Ivoire.

She said, “Grammy there’s a problem. We have many parties. You have killed our groove.

“South Africa, Tyla’s ‘Water.’ Alright. [Victor] Osimhen, over to you. [Ademola] Lookman, over to you. South Africa, you will dance Amapiano after your AFCON defeat. You killed my groove. Grammy why?”
