Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has revealed what career path she might have pursued if she weren’t in the music industry.

During an interactive session with fans on X on Tuesday, Tems disclosed that she would have been either an accountant or a mathematics teacher.

“If music didn’t work, what else do you think you would be doing today?” a fan asked.

Tems replied, “I might have been an accountant or a mathematics teacher.”

The multiple Grammy-winning singer had previously revealed that she quit her job as a digital marketer in January 2018 to focus on her music career.

She released her debut single, ‘Mr Rabel’, in July 2018, which gained traction in Nigeria. However, she rose to international prominence after being featured on Wizkid’s 2020 single ‘Essence’, which peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 following the release of the remix with Justin Bieber.
