Grammy-winning Nigerian songstress Tems stirred up excitement at the Lollapalooza Festival in Paris, France, after an unexpected yet heartwarming moment between her and a younger male fan went viral.
During her set at the globally acclaimed music festival, Tems, 31, took her performance a step further by stepping down toward the fans’ stand, drawing closer to the crowd as she belted out one of her songs. As she approached a young male fan, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Tems paused her performance to ask the fan a simple but telling question: “How old are you?” Upon learning that he was just 22, she momentarily hesitated, seemingly unsure if she should serenade someone so much younger.
But the fan wasn’t fazed. In fact, his bold response took both Tems and the crowd by surprise.
“It’s okay, I like older women,” he said confidently, flashing a wide smile.
The cheeky reply drew laughter and cheers from the audience, and visibly flustered, Tems admitted, “I’m shy.” Still, she composed herself and went on to serenade the young man, creating a memorable highlight of her Paris performance.
The viral clip has been generating buzz across social media, with fans praising the singer’s authenticity and playful interaction. Known for her reserved and introverted personality, Tems has increasingly been showing a more expressive and interactive side during her live shows this summer.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Tems has gotten up close and personal with her fans mid-performance. The ‘Love Me Jeje’ crooner has been seen serenading several male fans during her festival tour this year, marking a refreshing evolution in her stage presence and artistic expression.
The adorable exchange is yet another testament to the deepening connection between Tems and her fanbase – one that goes beyond the music and touches on spontaneity, vulnerability, and a little bit of unexpected flirtation.
