Why I’m not interested in dating Asake – Tems
Tems, the Nigerian musician, has revealed details about her romantic life while clarifying her lack of interest in pursuing a relationship with her fellow artist, Asake.
While consistently expressing her admiration for Asake and his musical talent, Tems mentioned during an interview at the Time 100 Gala in New York that her current favorite artists include Tyla and Asake.
Despite openly discussing her fondness for the “Yoga” singer in the past, Tems emphasized in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM that her affection for Asake is purely platonic, and she has no intentions of dating the fellow musician.
Here’s how the conversation went:
INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artists as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?
TEMS: Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].
INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.
TEMS: No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.
INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?
TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?
INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he’s mine!
TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so I know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.
