Nigerian singer Tems who has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind has taken to Twitter to issue a stern warning to anyone trying to force their religious beliefs on her or influence her dress, music, or performance choices in a series of tweets.
Tems tweeted, “Thank God I’m free.” “Thank God for Great counsel. Thank God for good health and growth. Not many can take out time even if they wanted to. They’re doing it cuz they have to. We Thank God. The foundation has been set.”
She continued, “I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am not your Christian saviour. I didn’t come here to uphold your beliefs about God. I will not fit into this box you try to put me in. I won’t satisfy you in that area please find the person that will. Or ask yourself why you care.”
Tems added, “So much growth this year. I’m here for my fans. I have worked so much on myself. It will all make sense when it happens. I started in 2018. Look at what music looks like today. Still Next level coming. I’m just about to start.”
“I don’t brag because I’m not playing the same game. I don’t need to brag; I am who I am whether you know it or not. It is a house that is built on solid rock that will withstand the storm. I’m trying to impress myself not you.”
She however ended her series of tweets by writing, “I just a baby!! I’m gonna show off. You don’t like it? *BLEEP* you from the bottom of my heart.”
Even though Tems didn’t direct this Twitter rant at anyone, there are various speculations that this had to do with her latest cover on Dazed magazine, which was criticized by internet trolls, who had a lot of negative things to say about her outfits.
