I received death threats for “getting pregnant” for Future – Tems

Temilade Openiyi, the budding Nigerian songstress whose stage name is Tems, has revealed that she received death threats over rumours that she was pregnant for American rapper, Future.

It may be recalled that she was spotted rocking what seemed to be a baby bump at Burberry’s Spring/Summer London Fashion Week show months ago.

The Grammy winner who recently sat down for a chat with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, said she never thought anybody would take the rumours seriously.

According to Tems, people started sending her threat messages and asking why she allegedly decided to get pregnant for someone like Future.

But the ‘Try Me’ crooner revealed that she has never met the American rapper in her life despite them working together on his Grammy-winning song, ‘Wait For U’ alongside Drake.

Tems said: “When I heard [the rumours] that I was pregnant, I didn’t actually think anybody believed it. I didn’t know it was serious until I started getting messages like death threats, like, ‘How dare you? Of all the people in the world, Future, really?’ And I’ve never met him in my life. So it’s crazzy.”
