The X user asked, “Before the fame and spotlight, what kept you going on the days you almost gave up? I’m a big fan trying to stay motivated.”

Tems replied, “Oh, baby, honestly, I leaned on God a lot. And I focused on serving. I hypnotised myself into thinking positively about myself; most negative thoughts are lies.
