Grammy-winning Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as singer Tems, has explained why she can\u2019t date or pursue romantic relationships with Nigerian male celebrities.<\/p>\n
Responding to a question from an interviewer who asked at the BET Awards ceremony over\u00a0the weekend\u00a0if she would approach trending handsome Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye if given the chance, Tems said the fact that they are both Nigerians means that she wouldn\u2019t see him in that light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u2018Love Me Jeje\u2019 crooner explained that she is not interested in a romantic relationship with fellow Nigerian celebrities, adding that she sees them as \u201cbrothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cI know who Maduka Okoye is but I don\u2019t know him personally. I wish I did though. But shooting shots at him, we don\u2019t do that over here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe [Nigerian celebrities] befriend each other and we are family. I see my male colleagues as brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
