Nigerian Afrobeats artist Tems (real name Temilade Openiyi) recently took to Twitter to call out tweeps who have been coming at her for her recent spiritual beliefs.
The word on the street is that when the artist started out in the music industry in 2018, she would praise God in every interview she did, however, tweeps now believe that she has made a U-turn in her relationship with God.
After all the chatter on social media, she took to her Twitter timeline to put haters in their place.
She tweeted: “I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am not your Christian saviour. I didn’t come here to uphold your beliefs about God.
“I will not fit into this box you try to put me in. I won’t satisfy you in that area please find the person that will. Or ask yourself why you care.”
I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am not your Christian saviour. I didn’t come here to uphold your beliefs about God. I will not fit into this box you try to put me in. I won’t satisfy you in that area please find the person that will.

Or ask yourself why you care.
Her followers did not take lightly to her tweet and pulled out receipts reminding the “Damages” hitmaker that she was the one who made the U-turn.

“But to believing creatives: know what you stand for, and stand for it.
“Back to Tems, this you?“
