Tems Opens Up On Why She Says She Loves Wizkid

During a recent Q&A session on X (formerly Twitter), Tems gave fans a rare, emotionally honest insight into what she truly admires about her longtime collaborator Wizkid. Asked what she loves most about him, Tems responded simply but with weight: “His heart, his work ethic.”

That statement unadorned, honest hit home for fans and music lovers alike. It comes in the shadow of their storied collaboration, most notably the global hit Essence, which helped redefine Afrobeats on the world stage. By naming “heart” and “work ethic” as what she values most, Tems shone a light not just on personal admiration, but on what drives creative chemistry behind hits.

Their partnership has long been more than just musical synergy. The success of “Essence”, a milestone in Afrobeats history underlined how much the two artists brought to the table: contrasting voices, complementary talents, and shared dedication. Tems’ recent comment gives deeper context to that success: this chemistry appears rooted in mutual respect, discipline and character.

By opening up publicly and so simply, Tems adds a human dimension to the narrative. In an industry where headlines often focus on drama or romance, this display of genuine respect stands out. For fans, it’s a reminder: behind the chart-topping songs and sold-out shows are people whose values — kindness, professionalism, respect — matter just as much as talent.

As conversation around the duo re-ignites, this moment may do more than fuel fan theories: it could re-assert that meaningful artistry often comes from more than just trends or hype. It comes from integrity — in heart and in hustle.
