She revealed that she has never met the American rapper in her life despite them working together on his Grammy-winning song, ‘Wait For U’ alongside Drake.
“When I heard [the rumours] that I was pregnant, I didn’t actually think anybody believed it,” she said. “I didn’t know it was serious, I didn’t know until I started getting messages, like death threats. Like, ‘How dare you! Of all the people in the world, Future? Really? Really, of all the people?’ And I’ve never even—I’ve never met him in my life. So, it’s cr*zy.” she said.
It’s not the first time Tems has shot down the rumors. Taking to Twitter in September, she wrote that, “you people are all mad!!”
