Why I’m not interested in dating Asake – Tems

• Tems has hinted at being in a romantic relationship while speaking in a recent interview. 
• The songstress expressed her interest in Asake, stating that he’s seemingly artistic and she’d love to work with him.
• When her host hinted at a love interest, Tems debunked any romantic inclination for Asake, stating that she has someone she’s involved with.

Nigerian singer, Tems has opened up about directing, while giving a glimpse into her love life. The singer also gave the simple reason she’s not interested in dating Asake.

For some time now, Tems has been very vocal about her love of Asake and his music. During an interview at the Time 100 Gala in New York, she revealed when asked who her favorite artistes are right now that they are Tyla and Asake.

She has spoken also in other different interviews about her love for the “Yoga” singer, but now during a new interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Tems clarified that her love for Asake isn’t romantic at all, adding that she’s not interested in dating the singer. Here’s how the exchange went:

INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artistes as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?

TEMS: Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].

INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.

TEMS: No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.

INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?

TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?

INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he’s mine!

TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so y’know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.
