UK-based Nigerian Afrobeats songstress, Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems has opened up on how she began receiving death threats when people thought she was pregnant for the American rapper, Future.

It would be recalled that rumours made the rounds on social media that Tems was expecting a child as a video of her carrying what looks like a baby bump.

She had debunked this rumour as false as she stated that she isn’t expecting any child.

In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, The Grammy awards winner disclosed that she had received direct messages on social media criticizing her choice of American rapper Future, who was purportedly the cause of her reported pregnancy.

Additionally, even though they and Drake had collaborated on the rapper’s Grammy-winning song, “Wait For U,” Tems claimed she had never met the American rapper.

“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 crazy,” she said.
