Uganda Moment Comes Back to Haunt Tems on Social Media
Nigerian superstar Tems caused a stir on social media during her recent #AskTems session on X. All it took was one simple question.
A fan asked, “What is the story behind you not coming to Uganda?”
Tems did not reply with words. Instead, she shared a single screenshot.
The photo was from 2020, showing her first appearance in a Ugandan courtroom after her COVID-era concert incident.
There was no caption, no explanation, just the image.
The reaction was immediate. Fans shared memes, jokes, and comments, while some Ugandans tried to apologize on behalf of the country. Many wrote, “Mama, please, Kampala has healed.”
For Ugandans, the photo brought back a moment they had hoped to forget.
For Tems, it was a quiet reminder of a difficult time that shaped her career long before Grammy nominations and global tours.
Social media erupted, leaving fans debating whether Tems was throwing shade or simply sharing her truth silently.
Either way, the message was clear. Tems is succeeding anywhere in the world except Uganda.
