Singer Tems announces she is ‘off the streets’

Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Tems, born Temilade Openiyi, announced during a TikTok livestream that she is officially ‘off the streets’. The statement was made while she discussed her past experiences with men and her decision to distance herself from unproductive relationships.

During the broadcast, the singer expressed frustration with individuals who waste her time, stating, ‘I don’t like it when guys waste my time. But for me, never again. I don’t have that problem anymore. I have left the streets; I wouldn’t even say I was ever on the streets.’

While Tems did not clarify if the comment refers to a specific new relationship or a general decision to avoid dating, the remarks have sparked significant speculation among fans. The singer has previously noted the difficulty of finding genuine connections amidst her fame, citing past instances where interest was based on physical appearance rather than deeper connections.
