Temilade Openiyi, the globally celebrated Nigerian artist known as Tems, has revealed the creative spark behind her hit track ‘Big Daddy.’
During a candid conversation, the soulful vocalist described the song as an upbeat anthem rooted in personal encounters.
She explained, “‘Big Daddy’ emerged from observing a particular personality archetype—someone chasing external validation while neglecting inner growth.
“It’s about those who crave authority yet contribute nothing meaningful—a paradox that fascinated me.”
The groundbreaking artist first captured international attention through her show-stopping feature on Wizkid’s chart-topping single ‘Essence,’ which soared to #9 on Billboard’s Hot 100 following Justin Bieber’s remix collaboration.
With multiple Grammy wins, AMAs, and BET Awards under her belt, Tems continues redefining African music’s global impact through her groundbreaking deal with RCA Records.
