Here’s how the conversation went:
INTERVIEWER: Is directing something you’re looking to do not just for yourself but for other artists as well? And if so, who do you think you’d like to work with?
TEMS: Uhmmm, I’d want to direct a video for Asake [laughs and blushes].
INTERVIEWER: Oh my gosh, Tems, don’t do that.
TEMS: No, because I can tell that he’s very artsy and he thinks outside the box. Ah ah.
INTERVIEWER: Just for work right? You just like him for work?
TEMS: Just to direct the videos. Asin, what do you mean?
INTERVIEWER: Oh, because he’s mine!
TEMS: [Realizing] Ohhh? Ah! Me?! Oh no oh. You’ve got the wrong girl. Please have him all to yourself. He’s all yours. I have my own so…[laughs and blushes]. I have my own so I know, I’m okay. But I think Asake is a really cool guy.
