Tems reveals how she put an end to unwanted advances from producers
Tems, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, recently opened up about her struggles with self-confidence related to her appearance.
Despite having a magnificent body and physique, she almost lost confidence because producers were often distracted by her looks when she just wanted to focus on making music.
In a conversation with YouTuber and content creator Korty EO, Tems shared this personal revelation. She expressed how frustrating it was to deal with the constant attention on her physical appearance, which overshadowed her true passion for music production and performance.
Tems explained that her dislike for her body grew as a result of this unwanted focus. Her primary goal was to produce and release music, and she felt disheartened that her appearance was receiving more attention than her talent and hard work.
To address this issue, Tems decided to change her style. She switched from wearing cute outfits to baggier ones in an effort to minimize the attention on her body. This change was a way for her to redirect the focus back to her music and ensure that she was being recognized for her artistic abilities.
Tems confessed she previously struggled with hating her body
“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”.
“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 like baggy clothes and I’m in my alpha mode because I want you to not be seduced by me.”
