Grammy‑winning Nigerian singer Tems recently shared her perspective on contemporary dating, noting that many men approach relationships with a primarily sexual focus rather than an emotional one.

During an episode of Flow With Korty, the artist was asked whether she had ever experienced love. She explained that, in her view, a number of men are clear about their intentions from the beginning.

“A lot of guys, they are very obvious. There is no agenda but to penetrate,” she said.

The comment generated discussion on social media, with fans and commentators weighing in on her assessment of modern romance.

In addition to discussing love, Tems spoke about her upbringing, revealing that she was often misunderstood because of her reserved nature. She recalled being bullied as a child due to her quiet demeanor and the way she expressed herself.

The piece “Many guys only want to penetrate rather than have a relationship — Tems” first appeared on Vanguard News.
