Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, professionally known asTems, has disclosed that she had received death threats due to speculation that she was expecting a child with American rapper, Future.
Recall that she was photographed a few months back at Burberry’s Spring/Summer London Fashion Week event, sporting what seemed to be a baby bump.
The Grammy winner stated that she never believed that anybody would take the allegations seriously when she recently had a conversation with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos.
Tems claims that she began receiving threats and questions about why she supposedly chose to become pregnant with someone like Future.
The “Try Me” singer, however, disclosed that although she collaborated with the rapper on his Grammy-winning song “Wait For U,” she has never really met him.
Tems said:
“When I heard [the rumours] that I was pregnant, I didn’t actually think anybody believed it. I didn’t know it was serious until I started getting messages like death threats, like, ‘How dare you? Of all the people in the world, Future, really?’ And I’ve never met him in my life. So it’s crazzy.”
