A thoughtful gesture from Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Tems towards a young fan who created crochet design for her, has sparked reactions on social media.
This comes after the fan, who identified as Odum Ifeoluwa, tagged the singer via her microblogging account, X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a crochet design she had made for the singer out of love for her.
Sharing the video of the crochet design, she wrote:“I hope Temsbaby gets to see this coz i dont have much followers on here, but after 8925 stitches and 70hours, I finished this crochet portrait of tems, I made this to mark the 1 year anniversary of when I started crocheting. It also my first time doing tapestry. I love you Tems. “
In response, Tems appreciated the fan, saying, “Yo, this is unbelievable. You are incredible! I need it right now. Can I buy it please?”
Hours later, the excited fan thanked the singer for purchasing the design for a whopping three million naira.
