Why I Can’t Date Nigerian Celebrities – Tems

Grammy-winning Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as singer, Tems, has explained why she can’t date or approach Nigerian male celebrities for a romantic relationship.

Responding to a question from an interviewer who asked at the BET Awards ceremony over the weekend if she would approach trending handsome Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye if given the chance, Tems said the fact that they are both Nigerians means that she wouldn’t see him in that light.

The ‘Love Me Jeje’ crooner explained that she is not interested in a romantic relationship with fellow Nigerian celebrities, adding that she sees them as “brothers.”

“We [Nigerian celebrities] befriend each other and we are family. I see my male colleagues as brothers.”
