I am off the streets – Singer Tems

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems, also known as Temilade Openiyi, has announced that she has "left the streets," a colloquial term used to describe women seeking love or marriage. The revelation was shared during a TikTok livestream on Monday, though Tems did not provide further details. She explained that she was leaving the streets due to her growing frustration with men wasting her time.

"I don’t like it when guys waste my time. But for me, never again. I don’t have that problem anymore. I have left the streets; I wouldn’t even say I was ever on the streets," she stated. Tems had previously expressed her displeasure with many men approaching her with selfish motives. In a 2022 interview with YouTuber Korty EO, she revealed that numerous men who sought her out were primarily interested in her physical attributes rather than forming genuine, meaningful connections.
