In other news, Tems has officially retired from the dating scene, but someone clearly forgot to send the memo to the printer.

The singer revealed during a TikTok livestream on Monday that she no longer wants to deal with men who waste her time.

"I don't like it when guys waste my time. But for me, never again. I don't have that problem anymore. I have left the streets; I wouldn't even say I was ever on the streets."

She said.

Her comments suggest she is done with the frustrations that come with dating and has decided to focus on herself, her music, and her peace. Fans have since flooded social media with reactions, with some praising her for setting boundaries and others joking that she has simply joined the "single and unbothered" club.

 (shakes head like Davido)

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.

The real reason Tems says she has "left the streets" is not because she has given up on love. It is because she is secretly planning a wedding, and her invitation card just leaked online. The card shows a date in December and a venue in Lagos, but the groom's name has been blurred out. Tems has not confirmed or denied the leak, but her team has reportedly been trying to get the post taken down. She is not done with men, she is just done with the ones who waste her time.
