Are Dave and Tems dating?
The music artists are causing a stir after a few intimate-looking videos were posted on their social media.
Back in 2024, the pair were videoed singing and playing the piano together, which inspired the many asks from fans for a collab.After the release of ‘Raindance’, the rumours began to spread.
They were spotted posing for pictures together at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November 2025, looking well-suited to each other.
It has also been confirmed that Tems had actually made the move to London, Dave’s hometown.
The ‘Freaky Friday’ rapper also left a suggestive comment on a TikTok posted by the Afrobeats star to their track.
He commented: “How do I repost this?”
It has become an ongoing joke in all of Tems’ comment sections for fans to look out for the rapper's flirty comments.
One fan commented: “I swear if I see Dave here today.”
Another said: “Me looking out for Dave 😭😭😂😂.”
The ‘Big Daddy’ star also spoke about her friendship with Dave earlier this year.
She said: “He’s just a real, genuine, honest person, and he’s not someone who pretends he’s very real.
The artist also spoke about the making of ‘Raindance’.
Tems said: “It was fun, and that is the only thing I can explain, it was so much fun. Getting down in the studio, doing all sorts of dances and like vibing out.”

But perhaps the biggest piece of evidence of all is the lyrics of Raindance hinting at an engagement.
Dave sings: “Your finger, I can put a rock in… 5'9", brown eyes, and she in it, in it.”
Fans were quick to point out that Tems is indeed 5”9!
Their most recent post together has set the Internet on fire, with the pair lip-syncing to that part of the song in one video and the singer's song ‘Big Daddy in another, whilst showing off matching rings!
The pair do look super cute together, and are most certainly feeding into the rumours.
