Tems is done keeping quiet. The Nigerian music star has responded to body-shaming comments that have followed her throughout her career. On Tuesday, she addressed the issue head-on after a post online mocked her body.
The post claimed Tems had “big laps not actual ass.” That was the final straw for the singer. She fired back in a tweet: “Okay 7 years in. It’s time to pack it up. I never thought I’d need to say it but you are all weird… Dog, it’s mine.”
Tems shared that people have made unnecessary comments about her backside for years. But she’s no longer staying silent. She said she has never hidden her body and won’t explain it to anyone. For those telling her to “show bumbum,” she clapped back with: “Nah, show ME yours first?? See how that feels? It’s just a body. I will add and lose weight.”
Her post has now gained over 1.2 million views. Fans and fellow celebrities quickly rallied behind her, praising her honesty and strength.
Tems added: “The more you don’t like my body, the better for me actually. But it’s enough now. Move on from my bum.”
She made it clear that she’s comfortable in her skin and not here for anyone’s opinions.
Tems is one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports. She’s known for hit songs like “Free Mind,” “Me & U” and her Grammy-winning feature on Wizkid’s “Essence.” With talent like hers, the music should be the main focus—not her body.
