Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems has issued a definitive statement pushing back against the relentless public commentary on her physique. In a candid post on X (formerly Twitter), the artist expressed her exasperation with over seven years of unsolicited scrutiny, demanding an end to the focus on her body.

Tems highlighted the absurdity of the constant remarks, which have fluctuated between labeling her "small," "flat," or "fat." She unequivocally asserted her ownership over her own body, declaring, "Dog ITS MINE."

The singer also pointed out the hypocrisy of those who demand she "show her body," playfully challenging her critics to display their own first. She emphasized that she has never intentionally hidden her figure but steadfastly refuses to turn her body into a spectacle for public validation.

"Whether I gain or lose weight, it’s natural," she stated, underlining that external opinions about her appearance hold no sway over her self-worth. Tems concluded her message with a clear and firm directive: "It’s enough now. Move on from my bum."

Her statement serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing challenges public figures, particularly women, face regarding body image and the pervasive nature of unsolicited commentary. Tems' call for respect and boundaries resonates widely, advocating for a shift from superficial judgments to an appreciation of artistic talent and personal autonomy.
