Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems has revealed that she received death threats over a rumoured pregnancy for American rapper Future.
In September, Tems fueled pregnancy rumours when she was spotted wearing a black dress with a purple fluffy coat and matching heels to Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2023 London Fashion Week show. Some social media users speculated that she was hiding a baby bump. Others speculated that Future was the father.
The singer, however, brushed the rumours aside.
In a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Tems addressed the rumours, saying that several people filled her DMs with threatening comments.
The Oscar-nominated singer also stated that some questioned her decision to allow Future to “allegedly impregnate” her.
Tems claimed she has never met the rapper.
“When I heard that I was pregnant, I did not actually think anybody believed it,” she said.
“I did not know it was serious until I started getting messages like death threats, like, ‘How dare you? Of all the people in the world, Future, really?’ And I have never met him in my life. So it’s crazy.”
