In a recent interview, Tems admitted that the song is a feel good song that was inspired by an experience.
Temilade Openiyi, the popular Nigerian singer, who is better known as Tems, has talked about what inspired one of her current songs, ‘Big Daddy.’
In a recent interview, Tems admitted that the song is a feel good song that was inspired by an experience.
In her words, “Big Daddy was inspired by an experience of a type of person.
"I would describe the type of person as someone who wants to look cool but doesn’t work on themselves internally, it translates to they want to have control but they don’t add any value.”
The Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer rose to prominence after being featured on Wizkid’s 2020 single ‘Essence,’ which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of the remix version with Justin Bieber.
Tems has since gone ahead to win Grammy Awards, American Music Awards and BET Music Awards. She’s currently signed to RCA records in the United States of America.
