Nigerian artist Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, has shared what career path she might have pursued if she hadn’t ventured into music.
In a recent Q&A with her fans on X, Tems revealed that she would likely have become either an accountant or a mathematics teacher.
When a fan asked, “If music didn’t work, what else do you think you would be doing today?”, she replied, “I might have been an accountant or a mathematics teacher.”
The Grammy-winning singer previously disclosed that she left her role as a digital marketer in January 2018 to fully dedicate herself to music.
Tems released her first single, ‘Mr Rabel’, in July 2018, which received some attention in Nigeria. She gained international recognition after featuring on Wizkid’s 2020 hit ‘Essence’, which climbed to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 following the release of the remix with Justin Bieber.
