Tems' revelation came during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM when the interviewer, who loves Asake, and Tems got into a discussion about the "Peace Be Unto You" singer. Here's how the exchange went:

INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you're looking to do not just for yourself but for other artistes as well? And if so, who do you think you'd like to work with?

TEMS: Uhmmm, I'd want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].

INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don't do that.

TEMS: No, because I can tell that he's very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.

INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?

TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?

INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he's mine!

TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You've got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He's all yours. I have my own so...[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so y'know, I'm okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.

Not Tems through this exchange revealing that she's actually in a relationship already, good for her. Thanks for diving into this story with me!
