During the week, when news broke on social media that Nigerian afro-pop singer, Tekno Miles, a.k.a Slim Daddy would be briefly away from the music scene as a result of the temporary damage to his vocal cord due to excessive strain he has put on it overtime, music pundits and critics wondered why Tiwa, Wizkid, Davido, others, who also make music as much as he does have never suffered such.


However, in a chat with Showtime, his road manager, John, explained why Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa and others have never had to grapple with such major challenge.

“It can happen; Wizkid, Davido and others are always on the move for shows around the world too but they have never recorded such because they don’t do live band like Tekno. Tekno performs with a live band in all his international shows and even some in Nigeria. Davido doesn’t even have good vocal box and that’s why his voice sounds that way. Wizkid too can’t do high tempo music; it’s always mid tempo songs. Tiwa started professionally with good vocal coaches and all that, I’m sure that helps her a lot”, he said.


He added that international music acts also suffer such medical conditions, so, Tekno would not be the first.

“The same thing that happened to Tekno happens to international musicians too; they just have to treat it and rest the voice for some time to heal up”, he concluded.

What a useless and lame excuse.

How many live band shows has he performed in?
Is he the only Nigerian that's into live band shows?

He should come out clean to the public, and tell us something else.

the major one I could remember was Whitney Houston, it almost brought her career to an abrupt, if not ruin, before she passed on. it was confirmed that hers was as a result doing drugs, (consumption of deadly substance).
if you're not high pitch I'm sure you can't do it, voicing and singing is meant to be natural no matter your voice, you are sure go on to do you pitch and tempo.
music masters wey unna dey o. me no gree this excuse o.

to the man above exactly my point - thank you.

Wizkid performs with a liveband. I saw him live last year.

Okay sir

Sometimes taking hard drugs too causes such damage

What about the fuji artistes like wasiu .pasuma.osupa etc dat sing for hours non stop..

Na techno sabi wetin he use his vocal box do

Mumu excuse... So what should we say about our Church choirs who perform every week with high pitched voices or whenever you wn call am?

DBanj na master in live shows, and those Fuji masters too. Wizzy and sm others. Why be say na Tekno voice cn tear?

Next!!!

The vocal cord don tear be say e don tear, no need for explanations, and BTW for those shouting pasuma and saheed...

Why compare tekno with em, are there voice notes the same, try to understand things sometimes, believe me I can't shout for 15 seconds straight coz it's how I was made, but it does not mean others cant...

In other news....

so what exactly should we the masses do for him now?
??

hmm

I wonder how Sisters Nkechi and Mary still lead praise and worship every single sunday since the past few years, yet, they haven't damage their vocal cords.

If na Wande coal or Timi Dakolo voice tear, I go believe but Tekno?

Shey na to dey sing baby pana or Diana o na e go kon cut e voice like bet 9ja ticket?

Na only him know wetin do him voice

Tekno always use vocal in his song...if you know music yhu will understand me. ...Wizkid on "come closer ft drake" yhu make me sing high notes, yea yea yea.....

He may be correct, I wish him speedy recovery.

Ignorance is not good at all . All this people saying yeye or hard drugs . Sam Smith and Adele (if don't know them please google ) big international stars that had surgery for vocal cord damage were doing smoking drugs too abi? Someone mentioned Pasuma , Davido etc , it is due to singing high notes which those ones don't . It is worse if the high notes are not in the range of your usual singing or talking range .
Thanks

Ahn ahn .. They should buy a new box for him na. Go to Ladipo and ask him how much is tokunbo brainbox

Get well soon

flavor has never performed without his live band, and he stays on stage for so long. may be his vocal box is made of iron.

E Don lick kpekus wey e no suppose chop this is the repercussions, deal with it nigga or always use auto tune as my frog voice nigga dey do
