Tems says that she received death threats online after rumors circulated that she was pregnant with a baby by Future. The Nigerian singer reflected on the experience during an interview on the Drive Time Show for The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos. She says she was shocked people fell for the rumors in the first place.
“I didn’t actually think anybody believed it,” she said. “I didn’t know it was serious, I didn’t know until I started getting messages, like death threats. Like, ‘How dare you! Of all the people in the world, Future? Really? Really, of all the people?’ And I’ve never even—I’ve never met him in my life. So, it’s cr*zy.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Tems discussed living up to the hype that she's built for herself with the success of past releases. “It’s hard to not feel pressure,” she said, as noted by AllHipHop. “It’s like I’m in competition with my past self. And sometimes, I don’t know if I’m evolving. I’m learning a lot of things at once. I’ve realized I’m not that—I’m not the best at production. How can I be better? I’m trying to be better all the time. But I feel like I’ve also gotten to a point where I just don’t care anymore. I just want it to be out. I just want the music to be out. If it’s not fine, it’s okay. It’s not the end of the world. I’m still going to be making music anyway.”
