Tiwa Savage accepts Teni’s funny 3 billion Naira boxing match offer and tells her to pick a date for the fight.
Famous Nigerian Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage has accepted a funny boxing match challenge from her fellow musician, Teniola Apata, who many people call Teni.
Tiwa Savage told Teni to pick a date for the fight after Teni called her out on the internet and mentioned a huge prize of three billion Naira for the winner.
This fun story started on Friday, October 2, 2026, when Teni posted a short video on her official Instagram account. In the video, Teni was talking about how Nigerian musicians make big money and buy very expensive luxury cars like Bugatti.
While laughing and making jokes, Teni said she wanted to enter a boxing ring with Tiwa Savage to fight for a multi-billion Naira prize.
In the video, Teni acted like a very angry boxer and said she would beat Tiwa Savage so hard without mercy. She even joked that once the fight starts, she will not care about Tiwa Savage’s young son, Jamil.
Teni said: “Let’s fight, Tiwa Savage and me. Mummy, I will beat you till you enter bush. Me that’s is angry, I wouldn’t even look at Jamal’s face. I will cut my eyes. One, one billion. How much them dey buy all these cars? If they pay us N1.5 billion, can I buy a Bugatti? Make we first start from there. Mama, make we fight. Tiwa, I beat you, then sing ‘My Darling’ for you.”
Teni also wrote a funny message under her video post, promising that she will apologize to Tiwa Savage immediately after beating her in the boxing ring.
On her Instagram page, Teni wrote: “MAMA!!! make we fight @tiwasavage 3billion later I go apologise outside the boxing ring.”
Many fans on social media were still talking about the video when Tiwa Savage saw the post and decided to reply on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Instead of getting angry, Tiwa Savage found the video very funny and accepted the challenge right away in the comment section.
Tiwa Savage kept her answer very short and simple. She replied to Teni with just three words: “Pick a date.”
This friendly fight between the two female stars came right after other Nigerian celebrities fought in a real boxing match in Lagos.
On October 1, 2026, Big Brother Nigeria star Phyna and famous actress Nkechi Blessing fought each other inside a real boxing ring during an event called Chaos in the Ring.
That event made many fans and stars in Nigeria start talking about celebrity boxing matches.
Even though Teni and Tiwa Savage are only making jokes and playing around on Instagram, thousands of fans are already sharing the comments and laughing online.
Many lovers of Nigerian music are now waiting to see if the two rich singers will truly put on boxing gloves and step inside the ring for the multi-billion Naira show.
