Tems confesses “I wear baggy clothes … because of my objective which is just wanting to make music”
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Tems (full name Temilade Openiyi) has explained she intentionally dresses in baggy clothes to cover up her well-endowed body and avoid seducing producers, and even fans, so as to fully concentrate on making music.
There was a time she almost lost confidence in her appearance due to distractions from producers when making music, she disclosed in a conversation with YouTuber Korty EO.
“I used to not always like my body. I just didn’t understand a lot of things. I was going to a lot of studios alone, meeting people I didn’t know and had never met. I’ll message people to ask them to teach me how to produce music for people,” Tems said.
“So, because of my objective which is just wanting to make music, if my being attractive is disturbing you and stopping me from achieving my goal, I am going to help you. So, when I go to the studio, I wear baggy clothes and I’m in my alpha mode because I want you to not be seduced by me.”
