“When Art Meets Appreciation_ Tems Gifts Fan ₦3 Million for Crochet Portrait!”

Nigerian singer Tems has once again shown her appreciation for fan creativity by gifting a devoted admirer ₦3 million for an impressive crochet portrait made in her honor.

The talented fan, known by the handle @crochetmama__ on social media, crafted a remarkable crochet portrait of the Grammy-winning singer. The artwork, which reportedly took about 70 hours and 8,925 stitches to complete, was created to mark the artist’s one-year anniversary of crocheting.

Sharing the final piece online, the fan tagged Tems, hoping the singer might notice. To the fan’s delight, Tems came across the post and was immediately captivated by the unique creation. She reposted the image on her Instagram story with an enthusiastic message:

“Yo, this is unbelievable. You are incredible! I NEED IT RIGHT NOWWW. Can I buy it, please?”

What started as a simple tribute quickly turned into a life-changing moment. The fan later shared the exciting news on social media, revealing that Tems had paid ₦3 million for the artwork.

>“Best day of my life. Thank you so much, Tems,” the fan wrote alongside screenshots of their chat.

This heartwarming gesture isn’t the first time Tems has shown admiration for fan-made tributes. In the past, the singer met a fan who had tattooed her image on his back — a moment that also stirred conversations online.

Across Nigeria’s entertainment scene, several celebrities have been known to reward loyal followers for similar acts of devotion. Artists like Wizkid and Portable have publicly acknowledged and gifted fans who expressed admiration through tattoos, art, and other creative works.
