Grammy Award recipient Temilade Openiyi, widely recognized as Tems, recently clarified her stance on dating fellow Nigerian male celebrities. During an interview at the recent BET Awards, she was asked if she would pursue a romantic interest in Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. Tems dismissed the possibility, stating that their shared nationality keeps such feelings from developing.
The singer, known for her hit track ‘Love Me Jeje’, emphasized that she prefers to maintain a platonic dynamic with other Nigerian public figures. She views these professional peers as family members rather than romantic prospects. Regarding the specific question about the goalkeeper, Tems noted that while she recognizes who he is, she does not have a personal relationship with him. She firmly stated that she does not initiate romantic advances toward her colleagues, as she classifies them strictly as brothers.
