She noted that she was from a family where women were in control and took charge of different businesses successfully after her father's death.
Teni said that the message she originally wanted to pass with the tweet was that women should not hide under the canopy of feminism just to bash other women.

Using colleague, Tiwa Savage as an example, she said:
"Look at Tiwa Savage, do you know how many years this woman has done this over and over again? Do you know the hardwork she had to put in? So I just feel like women do have to work ten times harder. I don’t know why. I think parents need to raise their children better: teach them not to discriminate, to see people as people, not gender, not sexuality, but as human beings."
