A man has gone viral after allegedly denying his wife on stage just to kiss Nigerian singer Tems during the Afro Punk Festival in Brazil over the weekend.
In a video from the event, Tems could be heard saying she didn’t want to disrespect the man’s wife by serenading him, but he reportedly denied being married—even with his alleged wife standing right behind him.
“I know your wife is here and I need to respect her,” she told the man.
However, the man went on to kiss her hand after denying his alleged wife, causing the crowd to scream.
The incident has sparked a fresh controversy about Afrobeats artistes serenading their fans’ partners at their concerts.
Recalls that Omah Lay sparked controversy in February 2024 after he invited a female fan reportedly attending his concert at the Eventim Apollo in London with her boyfriend, to join him on stage during the rendition of his song ‘Bend You.’
Videos of the duo’s silhouettes shared online by concertgoers caused uproar, and the couple reportedly broke up after the incident.
