Mixed reactions have begun to trail the viral clip of Wizkid attempting to lift Tems during the performance of their hit song, ‘Essence’, at the singer’s London concert on Wednesday, December 1, 2021.
A viral video of the performance showed Wizkid placing his arms under Tems’ buttocks in an attempt to lift her.
Tems, on her part, showed resistance as she pulled Wizkid hands away during his attempt.
The performance, which took place at O2 Arena has sparked a lot of controversies online as some fans on Twitter accused Wizkid of sexual harassment while some opined that Wiz act was inappropriate. Some on the other hand felt WizKid was just elated, and expressed himself.
Read some of the reactions:
I hope Tems is ok though because that was so inappropriate.@raesmama_
Wizkid wasn’t trying to lift up Tems on stage, y’all should stop sugarcoating things in the name of stanship; Judging from Wizkid’s past live performances, it’s safe to say he wanted to f!irt with her but Tems respectfully declined his advancement. Wizkid owes Tems an apology.@DanielRegha
I wish Tiwa was as strict as Tems. All these disrespect would’ve been avoided. And perhaps Tems learnt from Tiwa’s mistake to avoid being a victim as well.@Abbye_ak
I think Tems just didn’t think Wiz had it in him and saved them both.
No way he’s able to lift her.
I bet she’d let it happen if it was Stormzy or someone buff enough to actually pull it off.
Nice save Tems. Our Starboi for don dey hospital now.@Oloye_
