My life is a testimony – Singer, Tems
Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer and songwriter, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has described her life as a “testimony.”
The singer 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.

On Friday, an X user using by the handle @TheDamiForeign drew yet another comparison between the two, writing, “Who’s the GOAT of rap? Olamide versus Phyno.
Phyno angrily reacted to the post, saying, “Yo!!! For the love of God, stop pitting me against my brother and everyone else. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Talk to someone else and joke around.. na ala adi agba unu.. wtf.
Lagos lawyer Femi Falana has refuted claims of any involvement in bribery related to prison arrangements or money laundering charges against Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky. This denial follows allegations made in a viral video by blogger Martins Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan), which suggested that certain officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) received N15 million from Bobrisky to dismiss the money laundering charge against him.
The video further alleged that Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10 million. However, during an appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” monitored by The Nation, Falana firmly dismissed these accusations, stating, “Bobrisky never spoke to me. I have never met him. I do not know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son, Folarin (Falz).”
Falana clarified that Bobrisky had approached his son on May 4, requesting N3 million to be placed in a specific part of the prison.
