- Tems stated that after she released “Try Me” and its music video, she was invited by Wizkid for a collaboration on “Essence” that same year.
- Tems mentioned that her goal earlier was to perform every Friday at a bar, but they turned her down because she didn’t have any songs.
Tems has shared her humble beginnings and the challenges she faced before meeting Wizkid.
In a recent interview, Tems recounted how she was determined to perform at a local bar every Friday, but was rejected due to her lack of songs.
This setback according to her, prompted her to record her own music, which eventually led to her breakthrough.
Tems revealed that her life took a significant turn in 2019 when Wizkid reached out to her after the release of her single “Try Me” and its accompanying music video.
Their subsequent collaboration on “Essence” marked a pivotal moment in her career.
Tems also reflected on her personal growth and the importance of having a clear direction.
She acknowledged that she didn’t have a well-defined plan in place for a long time and simply went with the flow.
However, she expressed a desire to have dreamed bigger, which would have better prepared her for the spotlight and the opportunities that followed.
