Temilade Openiyi, a Grammy-winning Nigerian musician better known as Tems, and ATL Jacob, an American record producer, are at odds on social media.
The dispute began when ATL Jacob stated in a recent podcast that Tems was initially adamant about clearing her sample on Future’s ‘Wait For U’, which featured her and Drake.
ATL Jacob, who produced the song, revealed that Future had to talk to Drake about using his relationship with Tems to persuade her to allow the sample.
His claim earned backlash on social media with Tems and her manager also refuting it.
Reacting to the backlash via X, ATL Jacob wrote: “All this negativity coming to me … I got a $100,000 wire transfer for Tems and her team to find me 1 time I spoke negatively about her.”
Replying, Tems offered the American producer $1 million instead, if he would stop “telling lies.”
She wrote, “Its not about saying anything negative. Stop telling lies. I’ll give you 1 million.”
