Tems also voiced her support for the protest against bad governance, emphasizing the importance of the people’s voices being heard.
She wrote: “Out of respect for the ongoing protest at home 🇳🇬, I have decided to postpone the release of the ‘Burning’ music video. Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard.”
