Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Tems, has won hearts once again, not just with her music, but with her kindness. The singer gifted ₦3 million to a fan who created a beautiful crocheted portrait of her.
The fan, Odum Ifeoluwa, shared the handmade piece on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that it took her 70 hours and over 8,900 stitches to complete. The portrait, made in black and white using tapestry crochet, was created to celebrate her one-year anniversary of learning the craft.
She wrote:
“I hope @temsbaby gets to see this coz I don’t have much followers on here, but after 8925 Stitches and 70 hours, I finished this crochet portrait of Tems. I made this to mark the 1yr anniversary of when I started crocheting. It’s also my first time doing tapestry. I love you Tems.”
To her surprise, Tems did see the post and she was blown away.
“Yo this is unbelievable. You are incredible! I NEED IT RIGHT NOWWW. Can I buy it please?” Tems responded.
But the love didn’t stop there. Shortly after the interaction, Ifeoluwa announced that Tems had sent her ₦3 million in appreciation.
Overjoyed, she wrote:
“OMG😭 this has to be the best day of my life. @temsbaby thank you so much… The Rebel Gang is the best community ever. Thank you to everyone for your positive comments. Thank you so much🙏.”
