Why I Don’t Want To Date Asake – Tems

Grammy-winning artist, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has disclosed the reasons behind her lack of interest in having a romantic relationship with her male counterpart, Asake.

It was reported that Tems, during an interview at the Time 100 Gala in New York, said her current favourite artists are Tyla and Asake.

However, speaking in her latest interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Tems stressed that she is not interested in dating Asake because her love for him is not romantic.

Tems: “I would want to direct a video for Asake because he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box.”

Interviewer: “You just like him for work?”

Tems: “Just to direct the videos. As in, what do you mean?”

Interviewer: “Because he’s mine.”

Tems: “Oh no. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I’m not romantically in love with him. I have my own so I know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.”
