Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, widely recognized by her stage name Tems, recently shared her admiration for the controversial American rapper Kanye West.
During her appearance on the latest episode of the podcast ‘Shopping The Sneakers,’ Tems openly discussed her connection with Kanye, emphasizing how much she respects and relates to him.
The ‘Mr Rebel’ singer spoke candidly about how Kanye’s unique perspective on life resonates with her. “I love Kanye [West],” she revealed. “I relate to him sometimes.”
In addition to her thoughts on Kanye West, Tems delved into her personal connections within the music industry, especially highlighting her strong friendship with American R&B sensation Brent Faiyaz.
Tems explained that their friendship dates back to 2021, describing Brent as a genuine person who has consistently shown her support. “Brent Faiyaz is my very good friend.
I’ve known him since like 2021. He’s a real one and always supportive. I have a couple of artists I’m close to, and he’s one of them,” she said.
Tems is no stranger to breaking records and pushing boundaries in the music world. She recently became the first female Nigerian artist to surpass 1 billion solo streams on Spotify, a remarkable milestone that adds to her growing legacy.

With this success, Tems has solidified her position as one of Nigeria’s most influential and groundbreaking artists, continuing to make waves both locally and internationally.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.

She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
