How Tems led praise and worship in Ugandan prison – Manager reveals
The Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems‘ manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, has disclosed that when the performer was arrested by the Ugandan police in 2020, she led praise and worship in her cell.
Recall that in December 2020, Ugandan authorities in Kampala detained and arrested Nigerian musicians Omah Lay and Tems, as well as some of their team members, for violating COVID-19 regulations.
Awoniyi recalled the incident while appearing as a guest on the most recent episode of Menisms’ audiovisual podcast, which is hosted by Olumurewa and Michael Sonariwo. She claimed that Tems had the inmates join in on her song. He stated:
“Entering prison, as a woman, Tems, they [prison warders] took her to the female section. I was just worried about her. I was not with her. I was just wondering what the hell is going on [with her?].
“I will come to find out that Tems conducted praise and worship in a whole prison cell. Everybody was singing with her. She took over the whole prison.”
