Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, professionally known as Tems, has disclosed that she occasionally cries when recording a song.
The “Try Me” crooner admitted to crying because some of the songs she records are “very personal” to her in an interview with Billboard.
The 28-year-old singer, who is nominated for a Grammy, claims that nearly all of the music she has released was produced through freestyles.
“I cried while making some of my songs because they’re very personal to me,” Tems said.
