Temilade Openiyi, a Grammy-winning Nigerian singer and composer, recently recounted how she recognized she had reached significant success.

Rihanna, a well-known American-Barbadian singer, sent her a direct message that helped her understand her celebrity position.

Tems shared this enlightening experience in an interview with popular YouTuber Korty EO.

The host asked: “At what point did you realise that you’ve become successful?”

Tems replied: “I knew I’d blown and gone far when I got a DM from Rihanna.”

Tems co-wrote Rihanna’s Black Panther2 soundtrack, ‘Lift Me Up’ last year.

Earlier this year, Rihanna wanted to collaborate with Tems and Ayra Starr on a song.
