Nigerian singer Tems has clapped back at body shamers
Nigerian singer, Tems, has directly responded to body-shaming comments targeted at her after her recent performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia.
After a short video from her stage performance at the Roots Picnic went viral on social media, several social media commentaries emerged, many of which focused on her body rather than her performance.
Some social media users made unsolicited remarks, particularly about her backside.
One user commented, “Real one knows she just has big laps, not an actual ass.”
But Tems, the “Love Me Jeje” hitmaker, took to her X page to call out the public obsession with her body.
She expressed her frustration at being constantly judged based on her appearance and criticised the pressure to prove anything to online audiences.
“Okay 7 years in. It’s time to pack it up. I never thought I’d need to say it but you are all weird. ‘It’s small, it’s flat, it’s fat.’ Dog ITS MINE. ‘Show us your bum bum’ lol so me too I will turn and say ‘See’ Nah show ME yours first?? See how that feels?
“It’s just a body I will add and lose weight. I never once hid my body, I just didn’t feel the need to prove or disprove anyone. The more you don’t like my body the better for me. But it’s enough now. Move on from my bum,” Tems wrote.
