Recently while appearing on the ‘Flow with Korty show’, ‘Me&U’ hit maker revealed that she wears baggy clothes when she is recording so that the producers are not distracted by physique.
“Because of my objective, which is: I just want to make music, I don’t really care about politics or anything here. I just want to make to learn,” says Tems.
She added that, I want to learn and if me being attractive is disturbing you, it’s stopping me from achieving my goal, I’m going to help you.
‘I am in my alpha mode cause I want you to not be seduced by me. And I’m not gonna be like ooh, it’s your choice’’
The young songstress acknowledged that while it may be a person’s choice if they find themselves attracted to her, she prefers to keep collaborations on professional level and notes that most of the times it works because producers can tell she’s just here to work and we work period.
