Is it love
Or is it just the music?
This question has exploded across the internet ever since Tems and Dave dropped the official music video for their hit single “Raindance” on January 9, 2026.
Filmed in the vibrant streets, beaches, and sunsets of Lagos, Nigeria, the visuals capture an undeniable chemistry that’s got fans convinced there’s something deeper going on between the Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar and the British-Nigerian rapper.
The connection between them is noticeable. Through quiet dinner scenes, shared looks, and relaxed moments by the beach, the video suggests a closeness that goes beyond a typical collaboration.
Meanwhile, you can watch the video.
Let’s not even talk about the kiss.
About Tems & Dave’s Relationship: Is This The First Time?

The themes in the lyrics and the calm intimacy of the video have made people wonder if there is more behind the scenes.
Friends to lovers, need a part to star in
But lookin’ in your eyes is the best thing
Brake lights giving you the red skinIt’s the way my mind is fallin’ away
In my heart, I know you feel the same
When you’re with me, you know I’m all you need
You’re where I wanna be, my darling, can’t you see?
