Nigerian singer Tems has disclosed the most daring experience of her life, involving a nerve-wracking skydiving adventure.

Reflecting on the moment in a recent interview with Elle magazine, Tems recounted, “The most dangerous thing I’ve ever done is jump out of a plane.” She vividly described the intense rush of emotions as she plunged into the sky, admitting, “I don’t even know how high, but I went skydiving once.”

Tems jokingly pondered her decision mid-air, questioning, “Am I dying? I don’t know who sent me to do this. I don’t know why I decided to do this, but here I am falling.”

Her uncle’s persuasive tactics played a significant role in her decision to take the plunge, as Tems reminisced, “My uncle convinced me and my cousins to jump.” Initially thrilled by the prospect of the daredevil act, she found herself hesitating as they boarded the plane.

Despite her reservations, Tems found herself airborne as her companions encouraged her with a gentle nudge, recalling, “And then we got into the plane and I was like I will just stay in the plane and they said I can’t. They pushed us out.”
