Temilade Openiyi, the Nigerian singer and songwriter better recognized as Tems, has ignited a substantial online discourse with her recent bold declaration. During an interview with Nigerian YouTuber Korty, Tems candidly delved into her perspectives on relationships and the motives behind some men’s actions.
Responding to Korty’s query about whether she had ever experienced love, the ‘Love me Jeje’ vocalist disclosed that she has been romantically involved with numerous men, yet found none capable of providing genuine connection or substance.
Tems, renowned for her soulful melodies and chart-topping tracks such as “Try Me” and “Damages,” has swiftly ascended to prominence within the global music sphere. Her distinctive sound and poignant lyrics have garnered her a devoted following and critical acclaim.

In her discussion, she remarked on her experiences, highlighting a recurring pattern wherein men she encounters seem solely interested in pursuing physical intimacy without meaningful commitment, resulting in subsequent abandonment.
She wrote, “A lot of guys are obvious, they have no agenda but to penetrate”.
