Tems has finally addressed the swirling rumors and questions regarding her romantic interest in Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. During an interview at the BET Awards ceremony over the weekend, she put the speculation to rest, explaining that she does not entertain the idea of dating fellow Nigerian celebrities.
When asked if she would consider "shooting her shot" at the trending and handsome goalkeeper, Tems politely declined, noting that her professional environment operates differently. She clarified that the camaraderie among Nigerian celebrities often transcends romantic potential, as she views her male peers as extended family rather than romantic interests.
"I know who Maduka Okoye is, but I don't know him personally. I wish I did though," Tems shared. "But shooting shots at him? We don't do that over here. We [Nigerian celebrities] befriend each other, and we are family. I see my male colleagues as brothers."
