The Grammy award winner has come out to reveal she received threats following allegations that she is pregnant.

Tems said she has never met the American rapper, despite them working together on the rapper’s Grammy-winning song, ‘Wait For U’ alongside Drake.

She said: “When I heard [the rumours] that I was pregnant, I didn’t actually think anybody believed it. I didn’t know it was serious until I started getting messages like death threats, like, ‘How dare you? Of all the people in the world, Future, really?’ And I’ve never met him in my life. So it’s crazy.”

Tems also disclosed during the interview that she “would like to direct a video for Asake.”

She said: “I love him. I can tell that he is very artistic.”

She explained that her likeness for the YBNL star is “just for work, just to direct his [music] video.”
