A fiery spat has erupted between Grammy-winning Nigerian songstress, Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, and American record producer, ATL Jacob, sending shockwaves across social media platforms.
The turmoil ignited when ATL Jacob claimed on a recent podcast that Tems had initially hesitated to clear her sample on the track ‘Wait For U’ by Future, featuring her and Drake. The producer alleged that Future had to intervene, leveraging his relationship with Tems to secure her approval.
ATL Jacob’s assertions triggered a wave of backlash on social media, prompting Tems and her manager to vehemently dispute the claims. In response to the mounting criticism, ATL Jacob took to X to assert, “All this negativity coming to me… I got a $100,000 wire transfer for Tems and her team to find me 1 time I spoke negatively about her.”
Undeterred, Tems swiftly countered, offering the American producer a staggering $1 million to cease “telling lies.” In her scathing retort, she emphasized, “It’s not about saying anything negative. Stop telling lies. I’ll give you 1 million.”
The growing tension between these industry heavyweights has captivated global attention, underscoring the power dynamics and complexities within the music realm. As the war of words escalates, the music world braces for the ramifications of this high-stakes clash.
