- The Love Me Jeje hitmaker's mother has always been by her daughter's side and it was obvious in the photo shared by Obe
- Tems recently won the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance and her mother was by her side to celebrate with her
A veteran journalist Taiwo Obe has admitted that the mother of singer Temilade Openiyi, aka Tems, has always been supportive of her daughter.
He shared an old photo of the Me and U hitmaker with her mother taken on May 27, 2002, at Fantasyland, Ikoyi, Lagos.
In a tweet, Taiwo said he remembered the picture when Tems said her mum had been there for her and her brother. He added that the trip was sponsored by his firm, TaijoWonukabe, which took their staff and associates' children to the fun park.
Simbo, Tems' mother, was a doctor at the firm's HMO (Health Maintenance Organisation) at the time. She was spotted in the photo keeping an eye on her daughter Tems 13 years ago at the playground.
