Grammy-winning Afrobeats superstar Tems has left fans inspired by revealing her humble beginnings and expressing that her current global success has surpassed her wildest dreams from her time as a 9-to-5 employee.
The revelation came during a candid interaction with fans on X (formerly Twitter). When asked about her future aspirations and if she had achieved her pre-fame dreams, Tems gave a heartfelt response that has since gone viral. In her statement, she said: “I am looking forward to whatever God has planned. And yes, I have achieved beyond my dreams from when I had a 9-5.”
The singer, born Temilade Openiyi, worked as a digital marketer in Lagos before quitting in 2018 to pursue music full-time. Her leap of faith led to a historic career. Her breakthrough came with the global hit “Essence” with Wizkid, which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and featured Justin Bieber. Tems has since made history as the first female Afrobeats artist to win a Grammy, securing awards for her work on Future’s “Wait For U” and later winning the Best African Music Performance Grammy for her solo track “Born in the Wild”.
Her journey from a regular office job to international stardom serves as a powerful testament to her talent and resilience, solidifying her position as a defining voice in the global music scene.
