Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems has made it clear that sheβs not interested in entertaining dating speculation after being quizzed about the trending Super Eagles goalkeeper during a recent interview.
While speaking about representing Africa on the global stage, the singer expressed pride in how far Nigerian and African music have come.
βItβs amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. Iβm just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybodyβs popping off and everybodyβs shining. So Iβm just happy to be a part of that,β she said.
The conversation then took a playful turn when the host asked if she knew the Nigerian goalkeeper currently making waves online.
Tems first jokingly asked, βDo I know him personally?β before admitting, βI think I do, No, no, no, no, no. I donβt.β
Sensing an opportunity to play matchmaker, the host quipped, βWe should shoot our shot.β
But Tems immediately shut the idea down with a response that has now got fans talking.
βShoot? No, no, no, we donβt shoot shots here. Weβre friends. We βfriendβ each other and weβre family. No shots,β she replied.
The hosts doubled down on the joke, saying, βJust family. Just sisters and brothers,β before adding, βIf you shoot, you miss. No shots over here.β
Tems laughed off the exchange, sticking to her stance and keeping the moment lighthearted.
