I Used to Pretend to Be Lil Wayne!”: Grammy-Winning Star Tems Reveals Her Wild Obsession with Rap Icon

Tems

Nigerian Grammy-award winner and soulful sensation Tems has just revealed her lifelong admiration for none other than rap legend and music mogul Lil Wayne! 

In a juicy tell-all on The Cruz Show podcast, the 29-year-old Afro beats and R&B star confessed that she’s been a massive fan of Lil Wayne ever since her brother introduced her to rap as a kid. And get this—she would even cosplay as Lil Wayne, fully embracing her rap star alter ego as she sang along to his lyrics.

"I Was Lil Wayne!" – Tems Takes Us Down Memory Lane

“When I was young, my brother was super into rap, and he got me hooked too,” Tems said with a grin. “That’s how I got all my rap influences. I used to pretend to be Lil Wayne when I was younger!”

Yes, you read that right! Tems would embody her idol as a kid, rapping to herself in her room and channeling her inner Lil Wayne. Can you imagine the ‘Free Mind’ singer in full Lil Wayne mode? She even shared her top four Lil Wayne tracks that helped shape her admiration: Mrs. Officer, Mr. Carter, Comfortable, and Hustler Musik.

“I Have a Rap Voice—But It’s Kinda Cringe”

For those wondering if Tems ever tried her own hand at rapping, she hinted that she does have a rap voice—but it’s hidden for now. “It’s a little cringe,” she laughed, teasing the fans with just enough mystery to keep us guessing. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see Tems dropping bars on a remix with Lil Wayne himself!

The Dream Meet-Up: Tems Hopes for a Lil Wayne Encounter

As if her fangirl moments weren’t relatable enough, Tems didn’t shy away from revealing that her biggest wish is to meet the Young Money founder. “It would mean so much to finally meet him,” she admitted. With a career that’s already brought her face-to-face with icons like Rihanna, Lauryn Hill, and J. Cole, it might just be a matter of time before Tems’ dream meeting with Lil Wayne happens.

Rising to the Top – Tems’ Meteoric Rise in Music

Tems has taken the music world by storm. After her breakthrough feature on Wizkid’s global hit Essence, which reached the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10, Tems has collaborated with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, from Justin Bieber to Coldplay. But even with all her success, she’s still the humble fan at heart, hoping to meet the artist who inspired her love for hip-hop.

Who knew that one of today’s biggest Afro beats stars grew up pretending to be Lil Wayne? Tems, the rap-loving superstar with a secret “cringe” rap voice, has her fans buzzing with excitement. Now, all eyes are on Lil Wayne—will he make Tems' dream come true?

From Stardom to Squander: Le Band’s Reckless Rise

Image
In January 2017, Le Band was standing on the edge of a decision that could make or break their career. Afro-pop singer and songwriter Charisma, born Fidel Eli Shammah, had just graduated from law school a year before. He had put his legal career on ice to focus on music, a choice that had already caused friction with his family. Now, his groupmates wanted him to invest in shooting a video for their latest track, Number 1. For Charisma, it seemed like another shot in the dark. " We had tried before – multiple times. We’d spent money, poured ourselves into the music, and each time, the result was the same: our videos barely scraped together 400 views on YouTube. Why should this time be any different? " he recalls with a shrug. The budget for the video was an eye-watering Sh120,000, far more than anything they had ever spent. Charisma balked at the figure, knowing it meant borrowing money from his parents, who were already disappointed in his decision to pursue music...
