Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer Temilade Openiyi known professionally as Tems has expressed how she feels about Christian beliefs.
Some fans had earlier asked the singer to start making good music and live a godly life that could be worthy of a good impression of her.
However, she lambasted critics who believe she is living a wayward life.
Without mincing words, Tems said she was not ready to be a symbol of Christianity.
The 2022 Soul Train Music Awards’ Best New Artist said she will never fit into that aspect even if she is forced into it.
In a tweet on Tuesday, November 29, the Grammy nominee stressed that if anyone is looking forward to seeing her act in a Christian way to impress people, it can never be possible.
“I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am not your Christian saviour. I didn’t come here to uphold your beliefs about God.
“I will not fit into this box you try to put me in. I won’t satisfy you in that area please find the person that will. Or ask yourself why you care”.

So much growth this year – Tems
Tems has touted her musical achievements within her short period in the music industry.
The Nigerian singer, who can be listed as the top-most decorated African artiste for the year under review, appreciated her growth this year.
The fastest African-growing musician has been able to win for herself a BET Award, an American Music Award, and a Soul Train Music Award.
She has also been nominated for Grammys.
The songwriter promised to always avail herself to entertain her fans.
With the preparation and work done so far, Tems says there is a lot more to come in the coming days, stressing that she hasn’t even started yet.
“So much growth this year. I’m here for my fans. I have worked so hard on myself. It will make sense when it happens.
“I started in 2018. Look at what music looks like today. Still next level coming. I’m just about to start”.

She further showed her gratitude to the Almighty God in a similar tweet, saying:
“Thank God for great counsel. Thank God for good health and growth. Not many can take time off, even if they want to. They’re doing it because they have to. We thank God. The foundation has been set”.
