Tems Advocates for Artistic Freedom in Fashion Choices

Nigerian singer Tems has voiced her belief that there should be no fixed standards for how artists dress, emphasizing the importance of individuality in the creative industry. In a recent interview with Essence Magazine, Tems argued that artists should feel free to express their personal styles without being bound by societal expectations.

Tems highlighted that her own fashion choices are a reflection of her authenticity, not a calculated attempt to fit a particular image. “You should be yourself even if something else is expected of you. You win, automatically, when you are yourself, no matter what that looks like. That’s why there’s variety,” she said.

She further stressed the significance of embracing diversity, stating, “We are different and are not all meant to be the same. I know there is a standard, but there shouldn’t be a standard for what people should dress like if they are artists, or what people should dress like if they are women.”

Tems concluded by reaffirming her stance on the importance of uniqueness: “There shouldn’t be a requirement or some kind of expectation that you should dress a certain way.”
