In a recent interview with comedian Basketmouth, the Consul General was asked to name his favourite Afrobeats musician, and without hesitation, he named Tems.
He admired Tems’ distinctive voice, confessing that he “got a little big of crunch” when listening to her. Stevens stated, “My favourite Afrobeats artist? It had to be Tems. “That voice…” I felt a tiny crunch just listening to her. And on Black Panther, she sings Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’. “She is incredible.”
The Consul General said aside from Tems, he also listens to other Afrobeats artists such as Asake, Fireboy, Davido and more.
“I have met a bunch of Nigerian artists; Fireboy, Asake, Davido. I haven’t met Burna Boy but they are great guys. Wonderful people. I know Nigerian artistes and I jam to them a little bit. But Tems is the one that I can just tune in anytime,” he added.
