In an exclusive interview with popular YouTuber, Korty EO, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, aka Tems, opened up about the surreal moment that made her grasp the magnitude of her success. And it’s a story that will leave you starstruck!
Tems, known for her soulful voice and chart-topping hits, attributed her ‘aha’ moment to a direct message (DM) from none other than billionaire pop icon, Rihanna. Speaking candidly with Korty EO, Tems recalled the precise instant she realised she had reached new heights in her music career.

The conversation went like this:
Korty EO: “At what point did you realise that you’d become successful?”
Tems: “I knew I’d blown and gone far when I got a DM from Rihanna.”
The significance of this DM cannot be overstated. Tems had, after all, collaborated with Rihanna on the hit soundtrack, ‘Lift Me Up’, for Marvel’s blockbuster movie, Black Panther 2. This collaborative effort marked a major milestone in Tems’ career, and Rihanna’s acknowledgement reinforced her accomplishments.
Fast-forward to earlier this year, when Rihanna expressed her interest in collaborating with Tems and fellow Nigerian songstress, Ayra Starr, on a new track. The prospect of working with these talented artists is a testament to Tems’ growing influence in the music industry.
Tems’ rise to stardom is a true rags-to-riches tale. From her early beginnings in Lagos, Nigeria, to becoming a global sensation, her success is a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists everywhere. And it’s not hard to see why – her unique sound, which effortlessly blends Afrobeat with R&B and soul, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.

As Tems continues to soar to new heights, it’s clear that her encounter with Rihanna has been a defining moment in her journey. The message served as a poignant reminder of her own success, and the respect she has earned within the music industry.
With her star shining brighter than ever, Tems’ story is an apt reminder that hard work, dedication, and a dash of humility can take you far. And who knows? Maybe one day, she’ll be the one sending inspirational DMs to aspiring artists, paying it forward in the true spirit of sisterhood.
