Tems postpones release of music video over protest

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has disclosed why she postponed the video of her hit song, ‘Burning’ off her debut album ‘Born In The Wild’.

The music video was supposed to drop on Thursday.

However, Tems said the decision to shift the date of the release was out of respect for the ongoing nationwide protest that started in Nigeria on Thursday.

Furthermore, she called on the government to listen to the voice of the people.

Tems wrote on her X, “Out of respect for the ongoing protest at home [Nigerian flag emoji], I have decided to postpone the release of ‘Burning’ music video.

“Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard.”
