Nigerian singer Tems has announced she has "left the streets", a term used when women are getting married or no longer looking for love.

The Grammy-winning artist made the revelation during an online livestream on Monday but didn't provide details.

She said she was leaving the streets because she got tired of men wasting her time.

Tems explained that she doesn't like it when guys waste her time, but that's no longer a problem for her.

She said she has moved on and wouldn't even say she was ever really on the streets in the first place.

The singer has previously spoken about how men who approach her usually have hidden motives.

In an earlier interview, she revealed that many men interested in her were mostly focused on her body rather than wanting a genuine, deeper connection.
