Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has announced that she has “left the streets”, a phrase often used to describe women who are married or no longer searching for love.
The Grammy-winning singer disclosed this during a TikTok livestream on Monday but did not provide further details.
She, however, explained that she was leaving the streets because she was tired of 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 said.
Tems has previously spoken about her experiences with men who approached her, saying many of them had ulterior motives.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO last year, the singer revealed that most of the men who approached her for relationships were primarily interested in her body.
She said she would have preferred genuine and deeper connections.
