Some Twitter users have accused Afrobeats superstar, Ayodeji Balogun popularly known as Wizkid of inappropriately touching his colleague, Temilade Openiyi (Tems).
The allegations trailed a clip shared online showing the duo performing their song titled Essence at the O2 Arena, London.
In the video, Wizkid moved closer to Tems and attempted to carry her by putting his hands beneath her buttocks.
However, Tems quickly removed his hands and appeared uncomfortable afterwards.
Meanwhile, some of their fans have taken to social media to knock the musician while demanding an apology.
Below are some of their reactions:
Tems has always made it clear on how she’d like people to interact with her. Really unfair for boundary to be crossed.

The rubbing up against Tems was very classless when you consider that she seems very particular about her space and body. Didn’t like that for her. 💛

Tems was like we don’t do that here fam.

I’m sorry Tems had to go through this, Men should leave to keep their hands to themselves regardless of big yansh
Wizkid should do better
Sending her love and light.. Go Queen, Yassss ❤️❤️

I loved working in the afrobeats world, but that awkward moment with Tems & Wiz reminded me of why I couldnt show teeth too often in those spaces. And trust me, there’s no HR to back you when these guys violate. Your either fierce, play along, use it or not be there..
