Singer Teniola Apata, better known as Teni, has explained why she prostrated to greet businessman and socialite, Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, aka IBD Dende, on a plane.
Teni came under fire after she shared a recent video of herself on X, prostrating to greet IBD Dende on a plane.
Most X users slammed her for associating with IBD Dende despite smuggling allegations against him.
Reacting on Saturday morning, Teni in a post on X, explained that she was not aware of any criminal activities associated with IBD Dende, adding that the businessman showed her kindness in 2014 even before she hit stardom, and since then she has held him in high esteem.
The 31-year-old noted that she does not support criminals.
She wrote: “MET IBD IN 2014 AND HE WAS SO GOOD TO ME, EVEN BEFORE I BLEW UP, SO WHEN I SEE HIM, ITS ALWAYS LOVE. I HONESTLY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH HIM. I DO NOT SUPPORT CRIMINALS, SO LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE.”
