MUSIC sensation and Award-winning singer, Teniola Apata has recounted how she almost lost her voice permanently due to a life-threatening throat infection in July.
The Headies Next Rated awardee, in an Instagram post, narrated her ordeal with a throat infection and temporary voice loss, which could have led to permanent voice loss if medical attention was not provided.
“While recording my second album ‘Tears of the Sun’ in July 2023, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening throat infection.
“After different bouts of temporary voice loss, my doctors advised me to undergo a major operation or risk permanent voice loss. I was hospitalised in September 2023 after repeated cases of exhaustion. I had lots of injectables in five days.
“October 2023, I mildly recovered my singing voice after seeking medical assistance despite not undergoing surgery,” Teni said.
The sweet melody giver went on to make it known that she is doing well now and back on stage while stating that her new single ‘Malaika’ is a song of praise and thanksgiving to God for his mercy and grace over her.
