“I Was Dragged While Growing Up Because Of My Voice” – Singer Tems

Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Tems has said that she was dragged while growing up because of her vocal tone.

Tems told The Cut that she didn’t start speaking until she was three years old. She claimed that growing up, she was self-conscious since her voice did not sound like other females’.

Recall that the singer earlier mentioned that she started recording music since she didn’t have any pals.

She said; “I was bullied to the point of tears and was a target of ridicule. This led to the belief that I sounded like a boy, or a frog, with the impression that my voice was ugly.

“I was always in my little world. When I did make friends, I would try to make them sing my songs, and other girls had these sweet, high voices and my voice had a bass.”
