“Prison was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I actually feel honored to have had because otherwise, I would never have thought about these people, and to be in their presence was very humbling,” Tems told ES Magazine.
Tems and Omah Lay were arrested and charged in Uganda after performing at a concert at Speke Resort, Kampala, on December 12, 2020, despite COVID-19 social distancing regulations. They spent two nights in jail before being granted bail.
