Tems Responds to Dating Question About Maduka Okoye

During a red carpet interview at the 2026 BET Awards, Nigerian singer Tems was asked if she would consider dating Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. Tems clarified that she sees Okoye as family rather than a potential romantic partner.
This question reflects the growing attention Okoye has received in recent months, particularly on social media, where he has been trending and recognized for his charisma and physique. His pre-match walk during a Super Eagles international friendly went viral, garnering significant online attention.
Tems participated in a tribute segment for Lauryn Hill, who received the inaugural Live Legend Icon Award at the event. Tems was also nominated for Best Female R&B Pop Artist at the BET Awards but did not win in that category.
Okoye has not publicly responded to the interview question at this time.
