Renowned Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, better known by her stage as Tems, has revealed which characteristics she looks for in an ideal partner for marriage.
The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter revealed her preferences for men in an interview that she did on Korty EO’s YouTube channel.
The Grammy-winning singer states that humour, emotional intelligence, and spiritual maturity are the three things she values most in a partner.
She declared that she cannot compromise on these qualities in an ideal partner.
“You have to be emotionally intelligent, very funny, and spiritually adept. Just on that journey of your own,” Tems said.
Tems went on to express her skepticism about the intentions of many men she encounters. She mentioned that she often perceives their motives as transparent and singular, which makes it challenging for her to trust the authenticity of their words.
In her words;
“The thing is I know their intentions, most of the times they have one intention, as most guys do [Laughs]. They are very obvious, so how can I even trust this conversation we are having it’s not even real, everything you say is fake.
I have thing I am looking for, You have to be emotionally intelligent, very funny, and you have to be spiritually adept, inclined and mature. Just on that journey of your own. To boys that like me ‘show me’.”
In a different story, Tems recently shared how she found out that she has ‘blown’.
Tems claimed that the realisation of her triumph came from a direct message (DM) from American-Barbadian singer Rihanna. It dawned on her then that she has really shot to fame.
She made this revelation in a conversation with well-known YouTuber Korty EO.
The host asked: “At what point did you realise that you’ve become successful?”
Tems replied: “I knew I’d blown and gone far when I got a DM from Rihanna.”
Tems co-wrote Rihanna’s Black Panther2 soundtrack, ‘Lift Me Up’ last year.
