A Nigerian man sparked controversy on X (formerly Twitter) after criticizing globally acclaimed singer Tems, describing her songs as “boring” and likening her singing to a “drunkard in a market square.”
The man suggested that Tems should add more “spice” to her music to make it engaging, concluding his critique with the blunt statement: “So boring. End.”
The post quickly drew a flurry of reactions from fans and critics alike.
Some defended the artist, highlighting her global success and unique style.
Firsatina commented, “Tems’ music may not resonate with every Nigerian, but it’s certainly not too boring to many.
Tems has a dedicated fan base in Nigeria and globally!” Meanwhile, others offered mixed feedback, suggesting that Tems’ focus on uniqueness might detract from mainstream appeal.
However, in spite of the polarizing opinions, fans largely called for encouragement and appreciation for the artist, emphasizing the importance of celebrating diverse talents in the music industry.
