Women are less respected in music industry – Tems

Nigerian Grammy-winning singer Tems has opened up about the challenges women face in the music industry, stating that they are often less respected compared to their male counterparts.

In a recent interview, Tems reflected on her journey, noting that while the industry has evolved, gender bias still exists. She explained that women have to work twice as hard to earn the same level of recognition men receive with ease.

According to the “Free Mind” crooner, the lack of respect for female artists is deeply rooted in societal perceptions, which often undermine women’s contributions to the creative space. She stressed the need for a cultural shift that prioritizes talent over gender, allowing women to thrive without having to constantly prove their worth.

Tems also encouraged upcoming female artists to remain confident in their craft and stand their ground, regardless of industry pressure. Her remarks have sparked conversations on social media, with many fans applauding her courage in speaking out about an issue that has long plagued the entertainment sector.
