Grammy award-winning vocalist, Temilade ‘Tems’ Openiyi has said she is proud of her ‘figure 8’ body shape.

According to the 29-year-old musician, it is a blessing to be an ‘endowed’ black woman.

The songster asserted this during a candid sit-down with Cocoa Butter in Atlanta, Georgia.

Reflecting on what she appreciates most about being a Black woman, Tems didn’t hold back. “I love being curvy. I love that I have a little booty, you know what I’m saying?” she said with a smile.

The singer, songwriter and producer added that her figure is one of the many reasons she feels proud and blessed to be a Black woman.

On what influences her bold and distinctive fashion sense, the Oscar-nominated singer said, ““I’m definitely into details. I’m definitely into the bling,” she enthused.

“I think Nigerians are very extravagant in everything and I’m very into that. But I always put my own spin and I’m not afraid to be who I am.”

Known for her authenticity and powerful vocals, Tems continues to inspire a generation of artistes and fans with her unapologetic embrace of culture and pan-Africanism.

Tems was born on 11 June 1995, in Lagos. Her first name Temilade means ‘the crown is mine’ in Yoruba language. While growing up, her family relocated to the United Kingdom when she was an infant, then returned to Nigeria following her parents’ separation, when she was five years old.
