I’m off the streets – Tems

Nigerian music icon, Tems, has announced that she is no longer “on the streets.”

The Grammy-winning singer made the revelation during a TikTok livestream on Monday, September 14, 2026, while speaking about her experiences with men.

Although she did not reveal whether she is currently in a relationship or engaged, Tems suggested that she has moved on from the dating scene.

“I don't like it when guys waste my time. But for me, never again. I don't have that problem anymore. I have left the streets; I wouldn't even say I was ever on the streets,” she said.

Her comments have since generated speculation among fans, with many wondering whether the singer's declaration signals a new relationship or a decision to stay away from dating altogether.

Tems has previously spoken about the challenges of finding genuine connections, particularly with men who approach her because of her fame and appearance.

In an interview with YouTuber, Korty EO, last year, the 'Free Mind' hitmaker disclosed that some men who expressed interest in her were primarily attracted to her body.

She said she wanted relationships built on deeper, more genuine connections rather than physical attraction.

For now, Tems has kept the identity of any potential partner private, leaving fans to speculate about what prompted her latest declaration that she has “left the streets.”
