Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has revealed that she has “left the streets”, suggesting that she is no longer interested in the frustrations that can come with pursuing romantic relationships.
The singer made the revelation during a TikTok livestream on Monday, where she spoke about her experiences with men and indicated that she had reached a point where she no longer wanted to deal with people who waste her time.
Although Tems did not provide specific details about what prompted her decision, her comments have sparked curiosity among fans, particularly over whether the statement could be connected to a new relationship or simply reflect a personal decision about her approach to dating.
“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.
The phrase “left the streets” is commonly used in social conversations to describe someone who has stopped actively searching for romantic partners, decided to settle down or simply withdrawn from the dating scene.
Tems, however, did not explicitly confirm that she is in a relationship or that she has decided to settle down.
Her comment has therefore left fans speculating about what may have changed in her personal life.
Tems Opens Up About Dating Experiences
The singer has previously spoken about the attention she receives from men and the difficulties that can come with romantic approaches because of her public profile.
In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO last year, Tems discussed some of her experiences with men who expressed romantic interest in her.
She revealed that she had encountered men whose interest appeared to be focused largely on her physical appearance rather than on developing a meaningful relationship with her.
The singer indicated that she values genuine connections and would prefer relationships that go beyond physical attraction.
Her latest comments appear to echo some of those sentiments, particularly her frustration with people who do not approach relationships with seriousness.
By saying that she no longer has the problem of men wasting her time, Tems suggested that she has found a way to avoid the experiences that previously frustrated her.
However, she stopped short of explaining whether she is currently seeing someone or whether her statement simply reflects a change in her personal outlook.
Fans React To Singer’s Revelation
Tems’ decision to speak about her romantic life, even briefly, has naturally generated interest among her fans.
The singer has generally maintained a relatively private approach to her personal affairs, with much of the public attention surrounding her career, music and international achievements.
As a result, even a brief comment about her relationship status can quickly become a subject of discussion among fans.
Her statement has particularly fuelled speculation because she did not offer further clarification after describing herself as someone who had “left the streets”.
Some may interpret the comment as an indication that she is now in a serious relationship, while others may simply see it as the singer expressing her decision to step away from unfulfilling romantic situations.
Without further clarification from Tems, neither interpretation can be confirmed.
A Different Approach To Relationships
Beyond speculation about her relationship status, Tems’ comments highlight her apparent desire for relationships built around genuine connection and respect.
Her previous remarks about men focusing on her physical appearance suggest that she values emotional depth and meaningful interactions rather than attention based solely on attraction.
For someone whose career has placed her under considerable public attention, maintaining privacy around personal relationships can also be important.
Tems has continued to build an international profile since breaking into the global music scene, earning a Grammy Award and becoming one of Nigeria’s most recognised contemporary music stars.
While her professional life remains firmly in the public eye, the singer has generally kept details of her private life away from extensive scrutiny.
For now, her latest statement has given fans another glimpse into her perspective on relationships, while leaving the bigger question about her current romantic status unanswered.
