Nigerian singer and Grammy Award nominee, Tems, has declared to all fans and admirers she is not “your Christian saviour”.

The singer in a series of tweets said; “I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am not your Christian saviour. I didn’t come here to uphold your beliefs about God. I will not fit into this box you try to put me in. I won’t satisfy you in that area please find the person that will.

“Or ask yourself why you care.

“So much growth this year. I’m here for my fans. I have worked so much on myself. It will all make sense when it happens. I started in 2018. Look at what music looks like today. Still Next level coming. I’m just about to start.

“I don’t brag because I’m not playing the same game. I don’t need to brag, I am who I am whether you know it or not.
It is the house that is built on the solid rock that will withstand the storm.
I’m trying to impress myself not you.

“I just a baby!! I’m gonna show off. You don’t like it? F*ck you from the bottom of my heart.

“Is it too much?!! Lool Love you”

It's not about being a saviour but about the modesty and sanity you put out there. The pollution is already suffocating us, don't add to it. Many young ladies see you as a role model, they will always see whatever you do as being valid compare to the moralities frm their parents.

I think people are just holding you to standards you set for yourself. You can be whatever you want! But saying you are one thing and being the opposite is hypocritical! Could have just tweeted, “good girl gone bad.” And we would have gotten the message. Not a new thing.

No argument about what you've put out here but I can vividly remember most of your interviews before the money n d fame,u always talked abt ur mum n Jesus. It's ok if u av seen a different light n decide to test waters..in doing so let Kanye's story be ur guide.

Tems,I think you need to accept the fact that when you're famous,your life is constantly under public display. Everything you do would be interpreted differently by different people. It's up to you to choose which version of yourself you want to be. And that's nobody's business.

Loool. If you are trying to impress yourself, you won’t be going on tour na. Just sit at home and sing to yourself
