Tems discussed being bullied as a child in a recent radio interview

Nigerian singer Tems discussed being bullied as a child in a recent radio interview. 

She said other kids would make fun of the sound of her voice, imitating and mocking her way of speaking.

Tems stated her unique voice made her an easy target for teasing and bullying. She found the bullying very hurtful at the time and it made her feel insecure.

However, Tems says the experience made her work harder at singing to become skilled and confident in her abilities. 

She learned not to give up in pursuing music even when others tried putting her down. Now her once-mocked voice has become her most celebrated asset as a singer. 

Tems emphasizes embracing your differences and not letting bullies dictate your path.  

Her story offers inspiration on overcoming childhood bullying to achieve your dreams.

 Nigerian sensation Tems opened up about being bullied as a child because of her distinct voice, but said the experience ultimately motivated her to hone her vocal skills and follow her passion for music.
