Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, also known as Tems, has reacted to the claim she charges $500,000 per verse.
Nigerian rapper, Odumodublvck, was asked by a fan if Tems would be part of the deluxe edition of his album ‘Eziokwu,’ the ‘Declan Rice’ artiste responded that he couldn’t afford her fee.
According to him, Tems charges $500,000 per verse, approximately ₦402,470,000.00.
“Hope Tems is on the deluxe,” the user asked.
In his response, Odumodublvck said she would not be on the project, adding that “a verse from Tems costs $500,000”.
“1 verse from Tems na 500k USD. Even Hushpuppi leg go first shake before e tremble,” he wrote.
Tems has however reacted to the claim but she neither confirms nor disputes the claim.
“Excuse me? LET TEMS BREATHE,” she quoted Odumodublvck’s tweet.
Tems gained global recognition in 2020, courtesy of her collaboration with Wizkid on the song ‘Essence.’
She has since established herself as a fan favourite in the Nigerian music industry, earning several awards and accolades.
In February, the songstress won her first-ever Grammy award.
She bagged the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ category for her role in ‘Wait for U’, the 2022 hit song by Future featuring Drake.
Tems recently released ‘Me & U’ — a track she wrote while ” conversing with God”.
