"Afrobeats is meant for dancing and not great lyrics. You can be a lyricist if you want but this is not Hip Hop where you have to be a lyricist for your music to sound that good” Tems

"Afrobeats in Nigeria is specifically for escapism, dancing and vibe just like RnB is for love and heartbreaks. We can’t all make the same type of music. It's specifically made for that purpose. Afrobeats is meant to bring you alive and make you forget about your worries and enjoy. The climate of Nigeria doesn't call for lyricists but it calls for music with good vibes. Nigerians love that music because we're already suffering and our music is one of the few things that makes us happy and the world has come to love Afrobeats the way it is. And we can't change the purpose of afrobeats because of prëssure” — Nigerian singer Tems revealed in an interview
