Tems Delays Music Video Release to Support Nationwide Protests

By Milcah Tanimu

Nigerian music star Tems has announced the postponement of her highly anticipated music video for the single “Burning,” in solidarity with the ongoing nationwide protests against economic hardship and bad governance.

Tems, a prominent figure in the global music scene, took to her X account on August 1, 2024, to share her decision. In her post, she expressed her support for the protesters and called for their voices to be heard.

“Out of respect for the ongoing protest at home, I have decided to postpone the release of ‘Burning’ music video. Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard,” she wrote.

The nationwide protests, which began on August 1, are a response to escalating economic challenges and the rising cost of living following recent government reforms. Demonstrators are calling for a reversal of the subsidy removals on petroleum products and electricity, and for reductions in government spending.

Tems’ decision to delay her music video aligns her with other celebrities and artists, including Vector, Omah Lay, Adekunle Gold, and Spyro, who have voiced support for the protest movement. Her gesture has been met with widespread approval from fans and supporters, who commend her for standing in solidarity with the Nigerian people during this critical time.

While Tems has not yet announced a new release date for the music video, which is part of her debut album “Born In The Wild,” it is anticipated that the video will be launched once the current wave of protests subsides.
