Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems has spoken about her relationship with God.

She explained how the saving grace and healing power of God changed her life forever.

The singer quoted a post by her manager on Twitter where he posted a throwback photo of both of them, alongside a recent photo.

Her manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, thanked God for his tender mercies as many people did not know what God delivered Tems from.

However, Tems quoted the tweet saying;

“Changed our lives forever. His healing power and His saving grace. They don’t know but be acting like they do.

I can’t keep quiet about it!!”

The Global artist has always preached about the presence of God in her life and she even claims that her recent song, “Me & U” was a conversation between herself and God.

Temilade Openiyi, the famous Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Tems, has said that her only competition in music is herself.

According to her, nobody can compete with her musically.

The Oscar-nominated diva spoke in a recent interview with Hot 97 FM, New York.

She said, “I’m competitive within myself but I’m not competitive with other artists. Nobody can compete with me.

“I’m original. I have had children. But also, I’m just all about being true to myself. My music is for people that relate to it. So my music is coming from me. And my music is my outlet.

“I started making music because I didn’t have friends. I heard something to say and I didn’t have anyone to say it to. So, I would just sing it. I will write it in a song and record it on my phone. I was doing that for years.

“So, music is my outlet. Whether anybody listens to it or not, I’ve to release it. Whether it does or not, it’s none of my business. But I need to release it. And it’s for the people that can connect with it and are going through the same thing.”

Tems added that she had never imagined all the accolades she has received so far, stressing that she just wanted to sing.

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer/songwriter, Tems has reacted to rumours of her being pregnant.

In a latest post via her X handle, the vocalist rubbished the speculations.

She recently caused a buzz online following a recent video showing her supposedly protruded belly signalling pregnancy.

Following the video of her that surfaced online, many claimed they noticed her belly was protruded thus, giving rise to pregnancy speculations.

The 28-year-old songstress wrote: “In conclusion, you people are all mad!!!

Muyiwa Awoniyi, the manager of superstar singer, Tems, has taken a swipe at artists who are obsessed with dominating the Apple Music Nigeria chart.

He said such artists are not in tune with reality, adding that the Afrobeats music scene has become global.

Awoniyi stated this via his Twitter handle on Monday.

He wrote, “Imagining caring about Apple Music NG in 2023. Are you a baby? Or you don’t know the scene is global now?”

Quizzed by a fan on why he thinks the Apple Music Nigeria chart is irrelevant, Awoniyi explained: “The amount of users of the app within the country is what makes a chart relevant. You clearly don’t even know how many people even have Apple Music in Nigeria.”

There are speculations that some artists manipulate chart positions on Apple Music Nigeria using a technology called “streaming farm.”
