Nigerian songstress, Tems, and her manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi, find themselves in a heated online exchange with renowned American producer, ATL Jacob, as they accuse him of spreading falsehoods. This surprising turn of events is particularly noteworthy as Tems has generally steered clear of controversies throughout her career, making this public dispute a departure from her usual demeanor.
The crux of the matter revolves around ATL Jacob allegedly spreading misinformation about Tems refusing to clear her original song, 'Higher,' which supposedly led to their Grammy-winning collaboration, 'Wait for You.' Tems contends that the producer falsely claimed Drake was the one who contacted her for clearance and later insinuated at the Grammy Awards that she need not thank him for their victory.
Backing Tems's claims, her manager chimed in, labeling ATL Jacob a possible pathological liar and urging those around him to scrutinize his credibility.
In his defense, ATL Jacob challenges the accusers to provide evidence of him speaking ill of Tems, proposing a monetary incentive for proof. Tems responds, pledging to double the offered amount if ATL Jacob refrains from spreading falsehoods about her.
It's crucial to note that ATL Jacob served as the producer for the Grammy-winning song, featuring collaboration with American artists Drake and Future.
