Grammy-winning artist Tems has spoken out against body-shaming remarks following her performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, United States, according to reports by X (formerly Twitter). The singer addressed harsh social media comments targeting her body with a firm and clear message.
Tems responded directly to critics on X, expressing her frustration with years of unsolicited opinions. She tweeted, “Okay, seven years in. It’s time to pack it up. I never thought I’d need to say it, but you are all weird. ‘It’s small, it’s flat, it’s fat.’ Dog, it’s mine… It’s just a body… Move on from my bum.” Her words emphasize her autonomy and reject the culture of judgment around women’s bodies.
Tems’ manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, also defended her publicly on social media. He warned that insulting Tems or those close to her would not be tolerated, showing support amid the negativity.
This is not the first time Tems has faced public scrutiny over her appearance. After winning her first Grammy in 2023, some critics commented negatively on her stage attire and performance. Despite this, Tems continues to focus on her music and self-acceptance, confronting critics with confidence.
