In the social media video which Teni captioned "Money cannot buy you health o na God!" the singer explained the health ordeal she's been facing for two weeks saying:

TENI: Yep. That's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

When I sang "Uyo Meyo" and said, "Ohun toju mi ti ri ah" [meaning "What my eyes have seen"], my eyes have really seen something. Malaria!

Ah, e no go better for all the mosquitos wey dey for Ikate. I dey tell you. Oba, you need to find something to do about the mosquitos in Ikate because malaria had me down.

They should turn off the AC in the burial ground of my father because it's like he wanted to take a nap. I said, "Wake up, your daughter is dying!" I was down. I was weak for two weeks. I couldn't eat.

If you people should see my neck now, I look like tolotolo. I look like a turkey. And I went to go and perform in Ondo as I was sick oh, as I was sick—because who will feed me?

Look at me. I was dying oh! Look at me just dancing, singing "For Your Case oh" because I cannot return money. Any money that enters into my account, whichever money enters inside sugar mummy account, it does not use to come back outside.

And they say money is the root of all evil. E no go better for evil!
