Sh*ck Confession: Tems Reveals She Was Nervous On Big Stage

Tems made the revelation on X after appearing at the high-profile event on Wednesday, where she joined several global music stars to mark the opening of the new centre.

Following her performance, the singer took to social media to reflect on the moment, after she mistakenly referred to the daughters of former U.S. President Barack Obama by incorrect names while speaking on stage.

She acknowledged that nerves affected her delivery and tendered an apology for the mix-up.

She wrote: “Lord knows I was nervous! Please forgive me!!!”

The ceremony was held at John Lewis Plaza within the 19-acre Obama Presidential Centre campus and marked the formal dedication of the $850 million facility ahead of its public opening on June 19.

Activities at the centre are expected to continue through June 21, featuring a series of community events.

The event also featured performances from international artists including Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Common, Bono, The Edge, Marc Anthony, and The Roots.

The celebrations, which began with the dedication ceremony on June 18, will run through the public opening and scheduled community engagements.

The Obama Presidential Centre also showcases a portrait created by Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby.
