Tems Connects With Fans in Playful #AskTems Session

Tems connects with fans in a recent impromptu Q&A on X, offering candid answers that reveal new sides of her life beyond music. The global interactive session trended globally almost immediately as fans from Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and just to name a few, flooded the timeline with questions.

The responses ranged from hypothetical career choices to personal reflections on past controversies. Tems’ openness clearly resonated throughout the session, with many replies gaining massive engagement within hours. Below are the major highlights and questions that made the session super engaging:

What Career Would Tems Have Chosen Without Music?

A fan asked Tems what career she would pursue if music hadn’t worked out. She said she “might have been an accountant or a Mathematics teacher.” That answer surprised many, revealing an academic side of the Grammy-winning artist few knew about. She had once quit a digital marketing job to focus fully on music, but this response showed she still respects intellectual labour and had serious alternative aspirations.

Why Does Tems Rarely Return to Uganda?

Another fan asked why she seldom returns to Uganda. Tems responded by posting a courtroom photo from the day she and another artist faced charges for violating COVID-19 performance rules. She didn’t mince words. She reminded followers that the legal ordeal that followed the concert in Uganda back in 2020 left a mark.

What Were Her Early Struggles Before Fame?

A different question touched on her humble beginnings. Tems has previously shared that when she first met her manager, she reportedly had only 200 Naira in her bank account. Despite that, she maintained generosity and determination. Her manager said those traits convinced him to formalize a working relationship rather than sign a typical contract. That early struggle remains part of her story.

Does Tems Believe Nigerians Understand Her Music?

Some fans also asked whether she feels Nigerians understand her music. She acknowledged that many may not fully understand her style, but she said she feels appreciated as a person by those who connect with her art.

Wrapping Up

The Q&A demonstrates why Tems’ connection with her fans keeps growing. Her decision not to stay behind a polished public image and connect with fans in a Q&A session will only increase fan loyalty and broaden her reach beyond just music.

Moreover, she answered every question with vulnerability, sincerity, and clarity, opening up about alternate life paths, past hardships, and decisions that shaped her journey.
