Nigerian Alté singer, Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems has revealed she could have done better on her song with Wizkid, ‘Essence’.
Essence is off Wizkid`s buzzing ‘Made In Lagos’ Album. The song has created a massive rave in the music industry and has been topping music charts since it was released.
However, Tems felt she didn`t deliver a fire verse like her other songs. In a recent interview with The Dotty Show on Apple Music 1 Radio, Tems disclosed that she wasn`t really impressed with her verse on ‘Essence’.
According to her, she could have done better when she recorded the song, but she wasn`t given an opportunity to redo her verse like she wanted to. In her own words, she said:
“Even on the day I recorded my verse on the song, I felt I could do better. I asked them to send me the beat again so I could redo my verse but Wizkid`s team said it was great. I told them I still wanted to ”˜top it` but they did not let me. However, I was happy with it. I always like to challenge myself and I used to be such a perfectionist. Wizkid also said he liked it.”
