Why Tems Is Fighting for Women in Nigerian Music
Tems says women are still not respected in the Nigerian music industry.
The Grammy-winning “Love Me Jeje” singer revealed in an interview with the BBC that early in her career, she struggled to be taken seriously simply because she is a woman.
Tems is now on a mission to change that.
Through her new project, The Leading Vibe Initiative, she wants to help women in music gain easier access to platforms, bigger audiences and greater success.
She also urged upcoming female artistes to know their worth, define their brands and set clear boundaries about what they will and will not do for fame.
Tems joins other top Nigerian stars like Tiwa Savage and Yemi Alade, who have also spoken out about the challenges women face in the industry.
