R&B artist Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, shared that she considers herself “super famous” in Nigeria.
During an interview on Big Boy TV in the United States, Tems explained that her celebrity status sometimes makes it challenging to move around freely in Nigeria.
She recounted a near-mob experience while driving in Lagos last December.
Tems noted that, due to her level of fame, she can no longer drive in Nigeria without a police escort.
“I used to drive in Nigeria, but now I can’t drive. I almost got mobbed last December. If I want to drive, I must have police escorts at the front and the back,” she said.
Tems said she struggled with fame because she’s an introvert but later adjusted.
