Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, AKA Tems, has postponed the release of the video of her hit song, ‘Burning’ off her debut album ‘Born In The Wild’ earlier scheduled to drop today.
In a statement shared via her X handle, the Oscar-nominated diva explained that the decision was in respect of the ongoing nationwide protest.
She also lent her voice to the protest against bad governance, saying that the voice of the people should be heard.
Tems wrote: “Out of respect for the on going protest at home [Nigerian flag emoji], I have decided to postpone the release of ‘Burning’ music video.
“Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard.”
