Tems discloses that she deals with being overstimulated by praying
Nigerian R& B artist Tems is proudly proclaiming her love for God and attributing her success to divine guidance, unfazed by potential criticism.
During an interview on Cool FM, the entertainer emphasized that prayer is an integral part of her daily routine, particularly when she’s on the road. When asked about how she copes with being overstimulated, Tems confidently responded that prayer is her solution. This declaration showcases her unwavering faith and the importance of spirituality in her life and career.
“I have a routine and a couple of practices and prayer is one of them. Every time I’m on the road, in a plane or in a car, I’m always listening to a message of some sorts,” she began.
She acknowledged that people have different belief systems and emphasised that her relationship with God is of importance to her in her journey.
“I know what I’ve been through. It’s important that people know that I didn’t come here by myself and everything has been orchestrated by God and I wanna be as honest as possible no matter how much backlash, some people might think it’s weird but it’s okay. I stand on what I believe in. People have different beliefs and I get that and I have to thank him,” said the singer

Tems emphasised that she does not want anybody to ever have the impression that she gained her success by herself. To her, God and her faith is more than an idea and have helped her pull through thus far.
“I feel like when you have a relationship with someone or If you’ve been through something with someone and someone says, ‘How did you do this?’ and you know that it is this person that has been guiding you through and helping you, imagine how the person would feel if you said I’ve just been doing my own thing, I came here by myself, everything I got was me. For me God is not a word or just an idea, for me he’s real and my life is real and my journey is real. In moments where I thought I wasn’t going to make it, I did and I have to,” she added.
It’s noteworthy that in 2022, Tems responded firmly to critics who accused her of “not living a godly life.” She made it clear that she is nobody’s Christian savior and asserted that she didn’t come to uphold others’ beliefs about God. This clapback reflects her assertiveness in maintaining her individuality and the boundaries she sets when it comes to discussions about her personal life and beliefs.
