Nigerian singer Tems has recently discussed her involvement in directing and shared insights into her personal life, specifically addressing her feelings towards Asake.
Despite expressing admiration for Asake and his music on several occasions, Tems made it clear during an interview with The Beat 99.9 FM that her affection for him is purely platonic and that she has no interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with the singer.
INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artistes as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?
TEMS: Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].
INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.
TEMS: No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.
INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?
TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?
INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he’s mine!
TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so y’know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.
