Celebrated Nigerian singer Augustine Kelechi, popularly known by his stage name Tekno has revealed damage to his vocal cords almost left him broke.

Tekno, who lost his voice months ago, says that at some point he had to make the difficult decision of turning down shows for the sake of his voice.

“Three weeks after my throat surgery, I had a show in Cameroon.

it was either I go and perform in Cameroon first or I do the surgery first.

I chose the magnetic metal option.

 right now when I am passing through a detector I have to alert the people there of my metal.

In an interview with Daddy Freeze, Tekno confirmed that he has regained his health and is set to release ‘Agege’ which features Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile.
