Tems Praises Justin Bieber as One of the Purest Souls During Jennifer Hudson Show
Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, recently shared her heartfelt admiration for Canadian pop icon Justin Bieber during her guest appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show.
Tems, who has made waves in the music industry, described Bieber as “one of the purest souls I have ever met,” highlighting his kindness and unwavering support.
In her interview, Tems reminisced about her unforgettable Coachella performance earlier this year, where she brought both Wizkid and Justin Bieber on stage.
She explained how she reached out to Wizkid, who was in town at the time, and he readily agreed to join her for the performance.
The collaboration turned into a memorable moment for both the artists and the audience.
On the day of the performance, Tems received an unexpected text from Justin Bieber, expressing his desire to join her set.
She recounted, “Justin texted me saying, ‘I’m around in case you want to bring me out.”
Tems recalled the electrifying atmosphere when Bieber took the stage, noting, “The ground was shaking. Everybody was losing their minds. I was a bit startled. Justin, I love you!”
Tems’ collaboration with Wizkid and Justin Bieber on the remix of the globally acclaimed track “Essence” has cemented her status as a rising star in the music scene.
The song not only showcases her talent but also highlights the powerful connections between artists across genres and borders.
As Tems continues to rise in prominence, her bond with fellow artists like Bieber and Wizkid adds to the rich tapestry of contemporary music, celebrating unity and collaboration in an ever-evolving industry.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
