Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has revealed the major red flags that immediately put her off in a potential partner.
Speaking in a recent interview with American media outlet Complex, the “Love Me Jeje” singer stated that she cannot be in a relationship with anyone unfriendly or uninterested in building a genuine connection.
The singer, who recently faced a backlash, explained that friendliness and curiosity are non-negotiable qualities for her.
She added that a relationship loses its essence when the other person makes no effort to know their partner.

She said a partner who refuses to be friendly or show genuine interest is simply not suitable for her.
According to her:
“Someone who is not trying to be your friend is a red flag. Anybody who isn’t curious about you is also a red flag. Because what are we doing? Why are we here if you don’t want to know me?”
Tems added that anyone who notices such behaviour early on should not hesitate to walk away.
She advised individuals to end relationships where their partner shows no interest in understanding who they truly are, stressing that emotional curiosity is a core part of healthy companionship.
She stated:
“If he or she doesn’t want to know more about you, end the relationship."
The singer noted that she considers herself a “lover girl” but has chosen to be more careful based on past experiences.
Tems further disclosed that she is currently more focused on self-love and personal growth, a phase she believes is necessary before embracing any new relationship.
