“I’ve never given context what happened with Tems and I in Uganda. Jaîl in Uganda was fun, it’s not like jaîl in Africa. Being in jaîl with Tems in Uganda was amazing cuz it gave me the relationship I have with Tems and the friendship I have with her manager. What happened was, me and Tems were in Uganda for a show and for some reasons, our paperworks had problèms so we were arrésted after our performance. We were in jaîl for two days but I wasn’t sad because I was in the same céll with Tems. Jaîl in Uganda with Tems is different from jaîl in Africa. The guy in charge of the céll was a great fan of my music so he gave us a nice spot cuz he didn’t wanna see me get me dépresséd.” Omah Lay
