Renowned Nigerian songstress, Tems, recently opened up about her stance on dating fellow musician Asake, shedding light on her personal sentiments.
In a candid conversation during the Time 100 Gala in New York, Tems had previously named Tyla and Asake as her current favorite artists. However, in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Tems clarified that her admiration for Asake is strictly platonic, devoid of any romantic inclinations.
Interviewer: “Are you considering directing not only for yourself but also for other artists? If yes, who would you like to collaborate with?”
Tems: “I have a desire to direct a video for Asake because of his artistic approach and unconventional thinking.”
Interviewer: “So, you appreciate him purely for professional reasons?”
Tems: “Exactly, just to direct his videos. What do you mean?”
Interviewer: “Because he’s mine.”
Tems: “Oh, no. Please, keep him all to yourself. He’s exclusively yours. I harbor no romantic feelings for him. I have my own romantic interests, and I’m content. But Asake is undeniably a fantastic guy.”
