Award-winning singer and songwriter, Temilade “Tems” Openiyi, has said she is not interested in dating Afrobeats maestro, Ahmed Ololade also known as Asake.
Tems recently expressed her admiration for Asake and his music, during her appearance at the Time 100 Gala in New York, United States of America.
The ‘Try Me’ crooner had disclosed that her current favorite artistes are South African R&B star, Tyla and the ‘Lonely At The Top’ hit-maker.
She sat down for a chat with The Beat 99.9 FM, and made it known that her love for Asake is not romantic and that she doesn’t want to go into a relationship with him.
The Interviewer asked; Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artists as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?
Tems responded: “Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].”
Interviewer: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.
Tems: “No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.”
Interviewer: Just for work right? You just like him for work?
Tems: “Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?”
Interviewer: Oh, because he’s mine!
Tems: “Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so I know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.”
