I connected with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Drake within three days – Tems::::::
Tems has revealed that Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Drake reached out to her within three days in 2020.
The 29-year-old songstress spoke about her journey to stardom in a recent interview with BigBoy TV.
Tems said Beyoncé’s team reached out, followed by direct messages from Drake and Rihanna.
The Grammy winner described the experience as “surreal,” adding that it felt like “I was dreaming”.
“When I met Wizkid, I had only three songs. We recorded ‘Essence’ in 2019, it came out in 2020 and I released my EP during the pandemic,” she said.
“I didn’t imagine that I would become this big thing. We did ‘Essence’ and things started going off. I started getting messages. Beyoncé reached out in 2020 and my mind was blown. I was like God, what’s going on?
“Because I lived alone throughout the whole time I was in school and when I had a job, I was alone and I was really to my thoughts a lot.
“Beyoncé’s team reached out and I got DMs from people that I looked up to. Other artistes like Drake and Rihanna. These are people that influenced culture very much so for the past 10 years or more. These are people that are very respectable in the industry.
“I was in Nigeria when I got their messages. I was in my house alone when I got everything. In fact I got their messages within three days of each other.
“It felt like something crazy was happening, like it wasn’t real and I was dreaming. I felt like I was being pranked.”
