Nigerian Afropop star Tems has told the BBC "people don't really respect women" in her industry.

The two-time Grammy award-winner told the BBC that at the start of her career, she struggled to be taken seriously. "I realised that there's always a cost.

There's always a price that you pay.

And a lot of those prices I wasn't willing to pay and there wasn't a lot of options," Tems said.
