Nigerian music star Tems has received criticism on social media for her outfit at the Academy Awards ceremony.
Oscar nominee, Tems wore a stunning puffy white gown that wrapped around the back of her head, and she looked stunning at Sunday night’s Academy Awards but her elaborate outfit blocked the view of some attendees who were seated behind her from enjoying the show.
Tems is nominated for Best Original Song for the track “Lift Me Up” from the movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Photos of the “Damages” hitmaker standing out in the crowd quickly went viral on Twitter, clocking up hundreds of thousands of views.
Here are some reactions on Twitter ;

Tems outfit to the Oscars is view-blocking but why’s no one talking about Lady Gaga’s outfit? pic.twitter.com/H5j4VQCVfg
