‘We don’t shoot shots here’ Tems says as she laughs off dating speculation with Maduka Okoye stressing they are only friends.
Tems has cleared the air about the dating rumours linking her with Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. The Grammy-winning singer made her position clear during a recent interview after the host playfully suggested they could be a perfect match. Her response quickly got fans talking online.
Before the funny moment, Tems spoke about the success of African music around the world. She said, “It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.” Her words reflected her excitement about Africa’s growing global influence.
The interview then shifted to Maduka Okoye, who has been trending online. When asked if she knew him, Tems joked, “Do I know him personally?” She quickly added, “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.” The host then suggested they should “shoot their shot.”
However, Tems wasted no time shutting down the idea. She replied, “Shoot? No, no, no, we don’t shoot shots here. We’re friends. We ‘friend’ each other and we’re family. No shots.” The hosts laughed and agreed, saying, “Just family. Just sisters and brothers.” Tems kept smiling and stayed firm, making it clear that friendship is all she has to offer.
