The Nigerian entertainment scene is buzzing after a heated online clash between music producer Samklef and singer Teni Makanaki. The drama erupted over a video posted by Teni concerning the legendary singer, 2Face Idibia.
The Video That Sparked the Controversy
On Friday, December 5, 2025, celebrated singer Teni took to social media to share a video message. In the clip, she made a public appeal, calling on people to come together and "rescue" 2Face Idibia. She specifically mentioned the need to save him from "his husband's house," a clear reference to the singer's widely reported marital issues with his wife, Annie Idibia.
The video quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions from fans and observers. While some saw it as a joke or an expression of concern, others interpreted it as an unnecessary intrusion into the private family matters of the music icon.
Samklef's Explosive Reaction on Social Media
The video did not sit well with music producer and controversial figure, Samklef. He took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to launch a furious attack on Teni, accusing her of profound disrespect.
In a series of now-viral posts, Samklef did not hold back. He questioned Teni's sanity and status in the industry compared to 2Face. His exact words were: "You don get prick Abi? You are very stupid 2face na your mate? Are you crazy! Delete this video sharp! Wetin Dey worry you? Davido Dey influence you Abi."
His core argument was that 2Face Idibia is a veteran and legend in the Nigerian music industry, implying that Teni, despite her success, is not on the same level and should not address him in such a casual or public manner regarding sensitive personal issues.
Fan Reactions and Industry Implications
The online spat has divided netizens. Some supporters agree with Samklef, stating that Teni's approach was disrespectful and unprofessional. They argue that private marital disputes should not be the subject of public spectacle, especially from a colleague.
On the other hand, some defend Teni, suggesting her video was meant in good humor or as a show of solidarity, and that Samklef's response was overly harsh and vulgar. The incident highlights the often-blurred lines between personal expression, celebrity culture, and professional respect within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
As of now, neither 2Face Idibia nor his wife Annie has publicly commented on this specific exchange between the two artists. The focus remains on the fiery critique from Samklef and the video from Teni that started it all.
