Superstar Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has described her life as a testimony.
Reacting to her achievements, the songwriter said she started from Lagos but has now gone global.
Tems made the claims while delivering a prologue at the 2023 Essence Festival on July 2nd, in New Orleans, USA.
“You know, my life is a testimony. I guess, for those who don’t understand, I’m from Lagos, Nigeria,” Tems said amidst wild cheers.
The singer, thereafter, performed ‘Essence’; her record-breaking collaborative song with Wizkid who later joined her the stage of the 29th Essence Festival.
The duo serenaded the crowd with their scintillating chemistry.
Tems hit superstardom after stealing the show as a guest on Wizkid’s ‘Essence’ which arrived on his album ‘Made In Lagos’ in 2020.
The song peaked at number 9 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 chart after the release of a remix version with Canadian pop star, Justin Bieber in 2021.
Since then, Tems has worked with global heavyweights such as Rihanna, Drake, Future and Beyoncé.
