Nigeria’s sweetheart and beloved introverted celebrity, Tems, has spoken lightheartedly about her aversion to phones.
The Afrobeats singer, who recently featured on the cover of Germany’s Glamour Magazine, disclosed that she constantly seeks excuses to put her phone aside, preferring instead to live life in the present.
“I don’t like my smartphone anyway. I prefer to live in the world and have experiences. If I have even the smallest excuse to leave my phone in the drawer, I’ll take it every time. I would say that it is both my management and my family that keep me grounded. Especially my family, my mother and my brother.”
“Ultimately, you have to manage to stay present, be aware of yourself, and take care of yourself. That is the only way you can grow, constantly learn new ways of looking at life and constantly reassess life. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my life.”
Tems also reflected on the early days of her career, admitting that she was quite inexperienced and innocent at the outset.
“That’s simply the most sustainable path through life. Not just in music, but actually in any industry. I believe that your authentic self will attract people.”
