Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has sparked fresh relationship speculation after declaring that she has “left the streets.”
Tems made the cryptic remark during a TikTok livestream, suggesting that she is no longer interested in navigating the dating scene.
Although the singer did not disclose what prompted the statement, she spoke about her frustration with men whom she feels waste her time, saying she has reached a point where she no longer wants to entertain such experiences.
“I don’t like it when guys waste my time. But for me, never again. I don’t have that problem anymore. I have left the streets; I wouldn’t even say I was ever on the streets,” she said.
Fans speculate over relationship status
The comment has generated curiosity among fans, particularly because Tems did not clarify whether “leaving the streets” means she is currently in a relationship or has simply decided to step away from dating.
For now, the singer has offered no further explanation, leaving fans to interpret the meaning behind her remarks.
Tems has spoken about unwanted attention
Tems has previously discussed the kind of attention she receives from men.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO last year, the singer said some men who approached her appeared more interested in her physical appearance than in developing a genuine relationship.
She explained that she values meaningful and deeper connections rather than relationships driven primarily by physical attraction.
Her latest comments have therefore reignited interest in her personal life, although Tems has not confirmed that she is romantically involved with anyone.
