She posted an emotional post in a social media video while working on the recording of her second album. “Tears of the Sun” is an album full of gratitude. Teni disclosed that she was hospitalized in September after experiencing many bouts of tiredness. In addition, she received many medicinal injections to treat the aftereffects of a throat infection. Thankfully, in October, her voice came back. Teni revealed in the video that the album, “Tears of the Sun,” was to become available on November 17, 2023.

Fans eagerly awaited the album, which now seems like a significant turning point in her career.

They solidified her status as a rising star in the music industry.

Teni sought medical advice to undergo a substantial operation to preserve her vocal cords from potentially irreversible damage after experiencing repeated instances of temporary voice loss. In a tearful video, she stated,

“When you finally get to hear this album, I want you to listen from your heart, embrace it with your soul, and know that I put my all into it, speaking my truth straight from my heart, against all odds. Tears of the sun.”
