The Nigerian singer Tems was in the news a while back for reasons unrelated to her music. She was allegedly expecting rapper Future’s child, according to a rumor that began when some of Tems’s photos and videos appeared online and showed her with a protruding stomach and wearing an oversized coat.
Just as quickly as the rumor started, almost as quickly did it take off. People online were convinced that the singer was pregnant, and so many people had so many thoughts about the whole thing. Now, during a new interview with Angie Martinez, Tems is finally talking about the whole pregnancy ordeal, how her mother reacted, and more. Here’s what Tems said.
Speaking about people’s curiosity about if she’s pregnant, Tems said:
TEMS: I did an interview earlier and we came out of the building and TMZ was there, and like there were people and they started asking questions.

TEMS: I don’t know. I went to a fashion show, and I think the top I was wearing was tucked in to leather pants, and then I was holding the coat and maybe I forgot to suck my belly in. Maybe for a second I forgot to hold it in. It was a food baby because we were eating so much that day, so I think there was like a two second clip. I mean, that’s what I gathered. I saw like one clip, and I was like this is still not enough, but I didn’t know what was happening until like two days later. And it was because like my cousins and my mom like messaged me like “oh this is definitely a lie?” I’m like what’s going on? What’s happening? What’s this? And then I went online, and I’m seeing pregnant pregnant pregnant, like what’s happening? What’s going on? From where? It was just like nah, you guys are joking!
