“Women are not respected in the industry,” says Nigerian Afopuba star.

The British Broadcasting Authority TEMS told “People not really respect women” in its manufacture.

She told the Grammy Prize winner twice to the BBC that she was at the beginning of her career, struggling to take her seriously.

“I have always realized that there is a cost. There is always a price that you pay. Many of these prices were not ready to pay and there were many options,” Tims said.

AFROPOP has gained tremendous global popularity over the past decade, but despite this growth, males still dominated.

The so -called “Big Three” – Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid – are all males – while their counterparts are like Toya Savage and YemenThey talked about the barriers they face because of their gender.

Earlier this year, she hit TEMS after negative comments about her body, which was made online after publishing a video of her performance on X.

I wrote on the social media platform: “It is just a body, I will add my weight. I have never hidden my body, I didn’t feel the need to prove or refute anyone. The more you do not like my body for me.”

TEMS BBC told her that she wants to “change the way women see themselves in music”, and hopes to achieve this through her new platform, which is the leading VIBE initiative.

The project aims to provide opportunities for young women throughout the musical industries in Africa.

“I promised myself that if I got to a place where I can do more, I will do this initiative for women like me and may make it easier for women to reach the platforms and reach a broader and successful audience,” said Tims.

The initiative started on Friday at the Tims hometown, Lagos. The singers, songwriters and producers were invited to a series of workshops, major discussions and painting discussions, all with the aim of developing skills and communications.

In response to a question about the advice that you will give to the young women who want to break this industry, she said: “I think it is important that you have an idea of what you want for yourself, what is your brand, and what are your limits.

“What are the things you will not do for fame and the things you will do?”

Tems, who scored strikes with proverbs He loved me heh and Free mindAnyone who tries to storm the industry said he should be passionate about his craft.

She said: “Not everyone sings music. If I am not famous, I will still do music. I will be in a kind of jazz … random on Friday night.”

But this is far from the reality of Temat. Five years after she appeared for the first time, she collaborated with the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna, which achieved more than 17 million monthly listeners in Spotify and international festivals.

Next month, the British band will support ColdPlay during a group of vehicles sold at the Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom.

Tems puts its success to being “authentic” and “bold”.

She said: “Even when people ask you to change your voice and change your style, you look at them and you say:” No. “If that means not to sign me, I was not fine.

Music is not the only Tems passion – she is a fan of thirsty football and has recently become a partial owner of the American Football Club San Diego FC.

“I have never imagined that I have or owned any football team,” she said, adding that her brother initially pushed her to this sport.

TEMS joined San Diego ownership with Pav Investments, a private investment company in West Africa that also helped collect money for The African Basketball League linked to the American American Professional State.

Tims has involved with Saint Diego Hope that “people can be bold enough to try things that no one believed to be possible.”

She said, “I don’t see myself just a singer, just my musician, just an artist. I am much more.”
