<h2>Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/Tems/">Tems</a>, and American record producer, ATL Jacob, have gone head-to-head on social media.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> understands that the issue between the duo began after ATL Jacob claimed in a recent podcast that Tems was initially adamant about clearing her sample on Future’s ‘Wait For, U’ which featured her and Drake.</p>
<p>ATL Jacob, who produced the song, claimed that Future had to talk to Drake to use his relationship with Tems to get her to approve the sample.</p>
<p>However, his allegations were greeted with backlash from social media users, with Tems and her manager refuting the claims.</p>
<p>Reacting to the backlash via X, ATL Jacob wrote: “<em>All this negativity coming to me … I got a $100,000 wire transfer for Tems and her team to find me 1 time I spoke negatively about her.”</em></p>
<p>Replying, Tems offered the American producer $1 million instead if he would stop “telling lies.”</p>
<p>She wrote, <em>“Its not about saying anything negative. Stop telling lies. I’ll give you 1 million.”</em></p>
<h2>‘Asake Is A Cool Guy But I’m Not Romantically In Love With Him’ – Tems</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/18/asake-is-a-cool-guy-but-im-not-romantically-in-love-with-him-tems/">Tems</a> has disclosed she is not interested in dating her colleague, Asake.</p>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> recalls that Tems, during an interview at the Time 100 Gala in New York, said her current favourite artistes are Tyla and Asake.</p>
<p>However, speaking in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Tems admitted that Asake is a nice person, but she is not interested in dating him because her love for him is not romantic.</p>
<p>She also commended Asake’s production skills, saying he always thinks outside the box.</p>
<p>See the conversation below,</p>
<p>Interviewer: “Is directing something you are looking to do not just for yourself but for other artistes as well? And if so, who do you think you would like to work with?”</p>
<p>Tems: “I would want to direct a video for Asake because he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box.”</p>
<p>Interviewer: “You just like him for work?”</p>
<p>Tems: “Just to direct the videos. As in, what do you mean?”</p>
<p>Interviewer: “Because he’s mine.”</p>
