In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, the acclaimed Nigerian singer, Tems, addressed and dispelled rumors that circulated in September suggesting she was pregnant. The speculations emerged after she was seen at Burberry\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2023 London Fashion Week show wearing a black dress with a purple fluffy coat and matching heels, leading some social media users to speculate about a possible pregnancy and even question if Future was the father.<\/p>\n
Tems vehemently denied the pregnancy rumors during the interview, expressing surprise at the intensity of the speculation. She disclosed that she received threatening messages in her direct messages (DMs), with some individuals questioning her choice to allegedly allow Future to impregnate her. Tems clarified that she has never met the rapper personally, despite collaborating with him on the hit song \u2018Wait For U\u2019 alongside Drake.<\/p>\n
In her own words, Tems said, \u201cWhen I heard that I was pregnant, I did not actually think anybody believed it. I did not know it was serious until I started getting messages like death threats, like, \u2018How dare you? Of all the people in the world, Future, really?\u2019 And I have never met him in my life. So it\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Born Temilade Openiyi, Tems rose to global prominence in 2020, particularly with her collaboration with Wizkid on the song \u2018Essence.\u2019 In February, she won her first-ever Grammy award in the \u2018Best Melodic Rap Performance\u2019 category for her role in \u2018Wait for U.\u2019 Recently honored by TIME magazine, Tems was listed among their top 100 for 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
