Nigerian singer, Tems was live on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning, to discuss with Laura Stylez and Ebro Darden – who also works for Apple Music.
When she was asked about ‘Fountains‘ featuring Drake, she says, “Drake played me a beat and he was like, “Would you hop on this?”
“I was like, “Yeah, of course.” And that was basically how it went. That song was recorded [virtually]. I recorded my part in Nigeria.”
She admits that her sudden rise in the music industry has been meteoric. She also spoke about her mom’s reaction to her current success.
When she appeared on Africa Now Radio with Lootlove, she says that, “Honestly, it’s unbelievable, literally. When I said I wanted to work with Drake, I just said it. I wasn’t thinking about it. I used to listen to Drake all the time when I was in high school and growing up and it was just the first thing that came to my mind.
“And for me to actually meet him, work with him, it’s just crazy. It’s crazy and that’s a full testament to God’s blessings, honestly. I can’t quantify how grateful I am, because it’s not anything I did, I’m just making music. And it just seems like I’m attracting all these people and I’m just so grateful honestly.“
She also spoke about her Extended Play, IF ORANGE WAS A PLACE and how it would be different from her album.She says, “The album is going to be a different thing, definitely. I don’t do the same… I’m someone who likes to do new things all the time.. I have so many experiences that I need to release through my songs. Definitely all new…”
