Tems Responds Defiantly to Criticism Over Headpiece at Oscars

Nigerian musician Tems has hit back at critics who have been making fun of her outfit choice for the 2023 Oscars. The musician has been receiving criticism for wearing an abstract white veil that flowed around her head in a large cloud. Despite the backlash, Tems shared a photo of her outfit with the caption “Oops” on Twitter and Instagram in a tongue-in-cheek reference to the complaints. Fans were amused by her response, with some celebrating her for the unapologetic message. Regardless of how users felt, one thing was for sure: her outfit made a statement. Tems was part of the team behind the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” track “Lift Me Up”, which was performed at the show on Sunday night.
