According to him, he revealed that Tems craved to be signed to a record Label his friend managed but was declined because he sounded like Rihanna and Clara.
This came after, the Nigerian songwriter and singer bagged a Record label deal with RCA.
In his words, he said:
“July 2018, Tems messaged me about promoting her music. I checked her out and liked the songs so much that I reached a friend who was managing an Indie label. But the label owner said she sounded too R&B and declined.”
“Today, Tems is global, rolling with WizKid, Drake & Rihanna. I don’t blame him to be honest. He’d been around enough to know that her sound was going to be a hard sell.”
“Just sharing this conversation because it’s a reminder that if we believe strongly in ourselves, we should keep striving. The world will catch up to our gift.”
