You might remember that a few days ago, a video of the performer hiding what seemed to be a baby bump sparked speculation that she was expecting.

Many online commenters assumed from her gesture that she was expecting a child and that the father of the child was in dispute. Some people claimed that it belonged to the American rapper Future.
Tems responded to the rumor by using her Twitter account to address the spreading rumors.

‘Bullying made me anti-social” – Kizz Daniel
Famous musician Kizz Daniel claims that his difficulty interacting with others is a result of the bullying he endured as a child.
Because he was overweight as a child, he claimed, the other kids tormented and teased him.
The “Buga” singer made this disclosure on the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, which is hosted by Adesope Olajide.
He said, “I have built a world of my own in my head since I was little. Because growing up, I was a fat kid. I was chubby. So, I don’t go out because the kids in the area make fun of me. They called me orobo (someone who is fat). And they bullied me. So I always stay indoors.

“During that time that I always stayed indoors, I’d already built this fantasy world in my head. In the world that I have built in my head, I’m very comfortable in that space.
“So, I reintroduced myself to the world after I lost weight; I lost all forms of social skills. I don’t know how to communicate. I don’t know how to socialise with people.”
