Why I’m not interested in dating Asake – Tems
Nigerian R&B sensation Temilade Openiyi, widely recognized as Tems, has opened up about her love life and revealed why she does not want to date colleague Asake.
Tems has always voiced her respect for Asake and his music. During an interview at the Time 100 Gala in New York, she stated that Tyla and Asake are her current favorite musicians.
She has already expressed her affection for Mr. Money, but in a new interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Tems clarified that her feelings for Asake are not romantic and that she has no desire to date the artist.
This is how the discussion went.
INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artists as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?
TEMS: Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].
INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.
TEMS: No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.
INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?
TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?
INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he’s mine!
TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so I know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.
