“I just want to use this opportunity to speak to every young, old, whatever. Every single woman watching this. Every single girl, watching this at home, where I’m from things like this don’t happen,” she said.
“Where I’m from Lagos, Nigeria this is a dream. As you’re watching this, I want you to imagine yourself as me cause you are meant to be here too.”
Tems’ popularity spread after she featured on Wizkid’s track, ‘Essence’ which was a hit around the world. She has since featured in songs with Future and Drake.
