Tems explained that she regards most Nigerian celebrities, particularly her male colleagues, as family and has no intention of “shooting her shot” at Okoye.
“I know who Maduka Okoye is, but I don’t know him personally. I wish I did, though. But shooting my shot at him? We don’t do that over here. We [Nigerian celebrities] are friends with each other and we are family. I see my male colleagues as brothers,” she said.
Her comments come amid speculation on social media suggesting she had an interest in the Super Eagles goalkeeper, a claim she has now firmly denied.
