Controversial Twitter personality, Daniel Regha, recently ignited a heated debate on social media when he shed light on the influence of Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, on Wizkid's music career. According to Regha, Tems played a significant role in revitalizing what he perceived as a declining career for Wizkid. Regha commended Tems for her remarkable stage presence and captivating performances whenever she joined Wizkid to perform their hit collaboration, "Essence."
In Regha's opinion, Tems' commanding presence on stage during these performances greatly contributed to Wizkid's resurgence in the music industry. In a tweet, he expressed, "Tems only gets attention as a performer when she sings Essence. She's a promising upcomer and is also the main reason why Wizkid was able to revive his music career with the MIL album. But aside from collaborations, she literally has no hit song of her own. Hope she steps it up. No offense."
Regha's statement surfaced shortly after the highly anticipated Essence Festival, where Tems and the Grammy-winning singer reunited on stage after a two-year hiatus. Their electrifying performance further fueled discussions on the impact of their collaboration. While Regha acknowledged Tems as a talented up-and-coming artist with a promising career, he suggested that she needed to broaden her repertoire and release hit songs of her own.
Regha firmly believed that Tems' collaborations, particularly with Wizkid on his "Made in Lagos" (MIL) album, played a pivotal role in propelling her into the spotlight. However, he also noted that outside of these collaborations, Tems had yet to achieve a major hit on her own.
