Nigerian music star, Tems, has received backlash online for wearing a white outfit that obscured other Oscars attendees' views.

Some tweeps have slammed the singer for her elaborate block-view outfit.
An American writer, JarrettBellini, via his Twitter handle, wrote, “Imagine waiting your whole life to be at the Oscars and you end up sitting behind a stratus cloud.”
Another tweep JessOfRVA, said, “The dress is beautiful but impractical for being an audience member—which is a shared experience. Being considerate is courteous. But that said, she looks stunning.”
“Truth be told Tems outfit looks good but not good for the #Oscar sitting
settings. However, those behind her should know that Tems and conditions apply. “ a tweep, RainSegzy, commented, saying the dress was inappropriate for a sitting setting.
Trying to fix himself as an attendee sitting behind Tems, a tweep GEAfolayan wrote,
“ At all times, we need to consider others. Tems' elaborate outfit actually blocked the view of fellow attendees at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. I'll feel bad if I were to be among fellow attendees sitting behind her.”
