<h2>On May 23, 2024, Tems' manager Muyiwa Awoniyi, AKA Donawon, came under fire on X (formerly Twitter) after sharing a post that was deemed condescending to Nigerians.</h2>

<p>In the post believed to be directed at Nigerian consumers, <strong>Awoniyi</strong> said&nbsp;<em>"We are not here to entertain you. You only happened to be entertained."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Tems' manager who has been vocal about his Christian faith then proceeded to say that with or without their opinions, observers will sit and watch and behold the work of a perfect God.</p>

<p>The post seems to be a reaction to the recent criticism Tems faced following her&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/tems-performs-love-me-jeje-at-the-tonight-show-jimmy-fallon/7yjye5t">performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon&nbsp;</a>with many observers tagging it a lackluster showing from the Grammy winner.</p>

<p>Awoniyi's post was considered to be condescending to Nigerians and this has led to criticisms from observers who scolded him for talking down on Nigerian fans.</p>

<p>Since <strong>Tems</strong> breakthrough came on the global stage courtesy of her brilliant contribution to Wizkid's global hit&nbsp;<em>'Essence'. </em>Her manager's recent comment on social media has reignited conversations over the relevance of Nigerian music consumers to her success and career.</p>
