Tems sparks buzz with mysterious late-night event in Los Angeles

Nigerian global star Tems has set the music world buzzing after announcing a “Surprise Release Event’’ scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

The exclusive late-night gathering will run from 10 PM to 2 AM, according to an invitation quietly circulating online.

Though details of what Tems plans to unveil remain undisclosed, the timing of the event has raised eyebrows. The four-hour window leads directly into the start of New Music Friday, the industry’s universal release period, which begins at 12:00 AM local time. The overlap has fueled speculation that the singer may be preparing to drop new music or debut an upcoming project at the stroke of midnight.

Tems, who recently appeared in Los Angeles for the Camp Flog Gnaw festival on November 15–16, is believed to already be in the city for music-related activities and has now announced a Surprise Release Event. Her last major release was her debut album Born in the Wild in 2024, which followed a breakout year that included a Grammy win, multiple international collaborations, and a rapidly growing global fanbase.

The circulating invitation has quickly stirred excitement among fans and industry watchers, many of whom believe the singer is gearing up for the next chapter of her career. Tems is known for hosting intimate, high-profile music events, similar to the private listening party she held for Born in the Wild that featured Don Jazzy, Pheelz, Fave, and other industry heavyweights.

For now, the singer has left everyone guessing, adding to the anticipation surrounding what could become one of the most talked-about surprise drops of the year.
