She expressed her belief that she has attained significant fame in her home country, highlighting the challenges that often accompany such recognition.

Tems revealed that her elevated celebrity status can complicate her daily life and movements in Nigeria. One particularly memorable incident occurred last December when she experienced a near-mob situation while driving in Lagos.

This encounter underscored the intensity of her fame and the potential difficulties it brings, showcasing the reality of being a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

According to her, she can’t drive in Nigeria without police escorts due to her popularity.

“I used to drive in Nigeria, but now I can’t drive. I almost got mobbed last December. If I want to drive, I must have police escorts at the front and the back,” she said.

Tems said she struggled with fame because she’s an introvert but later adjusted.
