Nigerian and Global world artiste, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems or TemsBaby, has spoken a bit about her past life and the struggles that she dealt with while living in abject poverty growing up.
She spoke about this in an interview with British GQ, the 27-year-old artiste said she had to steal food just so she could survive.
TemsBaby said during the interview that “There were times when I was not just broke; I was broke and hopeless. I used to steal food. I used to go to my aunty’s house just so she could give me food to take home. I didn’t have any self-esteem. I didn’t think I was pretty. I didn’t even think of my voice as anything. I just thought, There are so many people that can sing, I’m not a model, I don’t dance, but whatever chance I have, I’ll take it. I just felt like, What is the point of me existing right now? You have to remember those times. Because that person does not exist anymore. Even if I end up singing under a bridge somewhere, I’ll be the best under-the-bridge singer ever.”, TemsBaby said.
