Nigerian singer, Tems, has explained why she quit her job as a digital marketer to focus on her music career.
The ‘Love Me Jeje’ hitmaker explained that it wasn’t an easy decision, but she was confident in divine direction, especially as she felt digital marketing wasn’t her destined career.
In a recent conversation with Billboard, Tems said she had to wait for six months after quitting her job before she released her first single, ‘Mr Rebel,’ which gained some traction.
She said, “I quit my digital marketing job because it got to a point where I couldn’t take anymore. It was really dawning on me like, it’s now or never. I was just putting it off until I developed faith that God would see me through wherever I go.
“I quit my job in January 2018, I released ‘Mr Rabel’ six or seven months after I quit my job. Spiritually, I was aware that digital marketing wasn’t my path; I need to leave this place right now. It felt really like life or death. It was like this can make or break your destiny, and you need to make a decision right now. I chose to quit, and it worked out.”
