- A social media user, identified as Kosi Ugo went via his Facebook page to say lame things about Grammy-winner Temilade Openiyi, aka Tems
- The online user, who seemed to have been awaiting this moment, shared a lengthy post to express his displeasure with Tems’ style of music
- According to him, Tems is over-hyped, as he compared her to Portable and shared his opinion about Love Me Jeje
A Nigerian social media user, identified as Kosi Ugo, made headlines due to a lengthy post he shared online about Temilade Openiyi, the recent Grammy-award-winner, widely known as Tems.
Recall that Tems sampled the original ‘Love Me Jeje’ on a track that ended up bagging the award for Best African Music Performance.
The post by Ugo lambasted Tems and watered down her efforts in the Nigerian music industry. He called the 29-year-old over-hyped and compared her to Portable Zazu, adding that no one listens to both of them.
Man shares observations about Tems and compares her to Portable.

In his words:
“Since nobody will talk, I’ll talk. Tems music is trash! You know, I’ve sat down and observed her since she hit the mainstream. I’ve been patiently waiting to see the hype and year after year, she keeps disappointing me with her releases.”Oh, Future has collaborated with her”. “She featured on Wizkid and Justin Bieber’s song.”
“And so? Didn’t Skepta feature Portable on Tony Montana? Was the song not a hit? But, how many of you sit down to play Portable’s singles? If you’re being honest with yourself, how many times have you put any of Tems’ songs on repeat? Prove me wrong by sceeenshotting your playlist. The first time I listened to her remake of Love Me Jeje, I shook my head in disgust. Like, how do you ruin a classic like that?”
“The worst of all is her stage performance!!! Have you watched any of her stage performances? She always sounds lost!! Screaming on top of her voice like a bush baby and always missing the rhythm like a drummer that drank ogogoro before mounting his drums.”
“I feel like the only reason why people still stand to watch her perform, is because God blessed her with the genes of a Ugandan and Ethiopian woman. Other than that, there’s nothing spectacular about Tems, and you know it! If you claim not to know, God will punish you for 600 years!”
