Tems Drops Trailer (Video) For Her Forthcoming Album ‘Born in the Wild’
Tems has just dropped the trailer for her upcoming album named ‘Born in the Wild’, which will be released in May 2024.
On Monday, April 15, 2024, the beautiful Afrobeats singer, subsequently upon her great performance at Coachella, has just dropped a one-minute video(trailer) which features young children playing in the park, reflecting that the album could be an exploration of her journey from childhood to womanhood.
The video is heavily characterized with retrospection and showcasing the version of young Tems when growing up in the suburbs of Lagos, in a very small home with her mother in the kitchen. In the video, Tems also unveils one of the tracks in the album ‘Born in the Wild’, which could be the ‘signboard track’ of the forthcoming album.
On Sunday, April 14, 2024, during her performance of her hit track ‘Essence’, that she delivered with superstars, Justin Bieber and Wizkid – in addition, she also performed an unreleased track from her forthcoming album ‘Born in the Wild’.
In the unreleased track that she performed, she demonstrates the classic 1999 song titled ‘Love Me Jeje’ by Seyi Sodimu, one of the tracks from the album ‘Born In Africa’, a hit album among Nigerians that were born in the ’90s. This teaser from her and her performance of the yet-to-be-released track have further reinforced that with the forthcoming album ‘Born in the Wild’, Tems will largely be reminiscing about her life on growing up and the cultural determinants that have shaped the woman that she has become.
It is also strikingly coincidental that this Tems’ forthcoming album ‘Born in the Wild’ – is fantastically similar to Seyi Shodimu’s album named ‘Born in Africa’, with the track titled ‘Love Me Jeje’, in 1999.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
