Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, known as Tems, recently shared her admiration for Canadian artist Justin Bieber during her appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show.
Tems described Bieber as “one of the purest souls I have ever met,” praising his kindness and support. She recounted how she managed to bring both Wizkid and Justin Bieber to join her Coachella set earlier this year.
“I was meant to do this Coachella performance, and Wizkid was in town, so we asked if he could come onstage, and he was like, ‘Yeah, of course, I’m going to come out,’” she explained.
On the day of the performance, Tems received a text from Bieber saying, “I’m around in case you want to bring me out.”
“Justin Bieber is so kind and such a supporter. When he came out, the ground was shaking. Everybody was losing their minds. I was a bit startled. Justin, I love you!” she exclaimed.
Tems, Wizkid, and Justin Bieber previously collaborated on the remix of the global hit “Essence.”
