Award-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openinyi, better known as Tems, has opened up about her past struggles.

The “Try Me” singer opened up about her struggles with poverty in an emotional interview with British GQ.

The 27-year-old admitted to stealing food in order to survive.

She claims that when she was broke, she would either steal food or go to her aunt’s house to get food.

Tems went on to say that she had no self-esteem and never thought she was attractive or had a good voice.

“There were times when I was not just broke; I was broke and hopeless. I used to steal food. I used to go to my aunty’s house just so she could give me food to take home.I just felt like, what is the point of me existing right now? You have to remember those times. Because that person does not exist anymore.I didn’t have any self-esteem. I didn’t think I was pretty. I didn’t even even think of my voice as anything. I just thought. There are so many people that can sing, I’m not a model, I don’t dance, but whatever chance I have, I’ll take it. Even if I end up singing under a bridge somewhere, I’ll be the best under-the-bridge singer ever.”

A month ago she posted a rare photo of her mum explaining how her was before the fame

According to the singer, Her and her mother’s lives were not easy as they went through difficult times, also her mother was attacked by someone who broke into their house and held her at knife point. And at one point in their difficult life, she quit her job and asked her mother for permission to pursue music, which completely changed their lives.
