World famous singer Temilade Openiyi a.k.a Tems, said is important for people to be true themselves and not try to copy someone else’s way of living.
Tems who was speaking in an interview with Essence Magazine, noted that being authentic and distinctive is one of her major traits.
“I do think people should be themselves. I can’t really be anybody else. It’s just not going to work,” said Tems.
“You are doing yourself a disservice by trying to be someone else. You should just be who you are. Once you start trying, you’ve already missed the road. That’s a takeaway from how I live my life for sure,”
Speaking on artists should dress up she added: “We’re different and are not all meant to be the same.
“And I know there’s a standard, but there shouldn’t be one. There shouldn’t be a standard for what people should dress like if they’re artists, or what people should dress like if they’re women.
“I just feel like we’re all unique. There shouldn’t be a requirement. That’s what I mean by standard. There shouldn’t be a requirement or some kind of expectation that you dress a certain way.”
