They even threw plastic bottles at me.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stay true to her originality rather than do covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Tems has debunked rumours that she is working on a new song with rapper Odumodublvck<\/strong> after a video of the pair in a studio began spreading online.<\/p>\n The conversation started when a clip showed Odumodublvck recording in a studio, with Tems and her manager also present.<\/p>\n The video led many fans to believe the two artistes were already working on a joint track, and social media users quickly began to discuss a possible collaboration.<\/p>\n But Tems\u2019 manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi has explained that there is no collaboration in progress.<\/p>\n He stated that Tems only dropped by the studio casually and was not there to record music with Odumodublvck.<\/p>\n According to him, the visit was informal and not related to any joint work.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nigerian female sensational singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted being booed during a stage performance at a school event.
