Tems disputes the assertion that Nigerian music lacks "spirituality."

Temilade Openiyi, a renowned singer who has been honored with a Grammy award, commonly recognized as Tems, has refuted any claims suggesting that she made a statement asserting the absence of "spirituality" in Nigerian music.

According to a Twitter user with the handle @musicbaseafrica, a person who is knowledgeable and passionate about music, it has been said that during a recent interview with American rapper Kendrick Lamar, the singer expressed her inability to resonate with Nigerian music due to its perceived simplicity and lack of spiritual essence.

In a recent interview on Intertwine, Tems expressed her perspective on Nigerian music, stating that she found it to be lacking complexity and depth, with a noticeable absence of spiritual elements that she could personally resonate with.

In response to the content presented, Tems expressed her disagreement by commenting, "This information is not accurate and can be classified as false news." The individuals present are exhibiting a distinct olfactory perception, indicating a genuine sentiment. It is evident that there is a strong emphasis on personal opinions and intentions.
