Grammy-winning singer, Temilade Openiyi, AKA Tems, has urged the world to look beyond stereotypes and explore the cultures of Africa, starting with Nigeria and Ghana.
In a conversation with Fashion Bomb Daily at the 2025 Met Gala in New York, Tems encouraged foreigners to visit Lagos and Ghana to form their understanding of what life in Africa truly feels like.
She shared that the beauty of Africa lies in the richness of its cultures and creativity.
She said, I always encouraged people to go to Lagos and Ghana for vacation. Just go and see for yourself before you make an opinion about Africa. See it for yourself and see how you feel.
I think it the beauty of Africa is in the creativity, the daily efforts, the looks, the songs, the traditions and the cultures.
