Tems Declares She’s “Off the Streets” After Getting Tired of Men Wasting Her Time

Nigerian music star Tems has sparked reactions after revealing that she is officially “off the streets.”

The Grammy-winning artiste made the statement during a TikTok livestream on Monday, although she stopped short of explaining exactly what prompted the announcement.

While speaking about her experiences with men, Tems said she had grown tired of situations where men wasted her time. She suggested that she no longer has to deal with that problem.

Tems’ comment has since attracted attention because the expression “off the streets” is often used to describe someone who has found a relationship or is no longer interested in searching for a partner.

The singer has previously spoken about the kind of attention she receives from men who show interest in her. She has indicated that some of those who approach her are not necessarily looking for a meaningful relationship.

In a previous interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Tems discussed how some men appeared more interested in her physical appearance than in getting to know her on a deeper level.

She explained that she would rather have genuine connections built on sincerity and a deeper understanding of each other than relationships based primarily on physical attraction.
