Grammy nominee Temilade Openiyi aka Tems has revealed how she was once demoted at her former workplace before becoming famous.

The gifted artist, who studied economics, revealed that she was demoted to personal assistant because her boss thought she was slow and had trouble understanding people.

“I was doing digital marketing, I got demoted to a personal assistant. Yea, I was bad at the job. I tried my best though, I just couldn’t believe that that was my job,”

“I was shouted at so much, everything I did seemed to annoy everybody. Why are you so slow? Why are you talking so slowly? Talk like you are alive and I didn’t understand what anybody meant, what do you mean I’m talking normally so I just used to think people don’t like me so I was upset all the time.”

Opening up on her love life, Tems said that she wants to be in love with somebody but does not believe that love is blind.

“To experience something deep but real, not blind. I don’t believe love is blind. I think if you love someone you are loving them with your eyes open and if you’re blind it’s not love. Love is like if you’ve seen the person and you’re like I still want it.” she said.
