Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Tems has talked about how bullied she was because of the high pitch of her voice.
Tems revealed that she didn’t start speaking until the age of three in an interview with The Cut.
She claimed that because her voice didn’t sound like other girls’, she experienced self-consciousness as a child.
“I was bullied to the point of tears and was a target of ridicule. This led to the belief that I sounded like a boy, or a frog, with the impression that my voice was ugly.
“I was always in my own little world. When I did make friends, I would try to make them sing my songs and other girls had these sweet, high voices and my voice had a bass.”
Recall that the songstress had previously stated that she started making music because she doesn’t have friends.
