Tems noted that she told her mother she actually wanted to release a song and her mother agreed to it despite what they were facing. The singer then got emotional and covered her face for a few seconds as she dedicated her performance of Mr Rebel to her mother.
In her words:
“Before I quit my job, my mum had broken her leg and we were in a really tough place and someone broke into her house and held her at knife point and I told her I want to do this thing, I want to actually release a song, I want to try. And even though we were struggling, she said ‘yeah I’m with you I think this is what you’re meant to do. It took a lot for me to see my mum suffer and I released a song called Mr Rebel and I’m dedicating this song to my mum.”
