While browsing through the vendor’s collection, Tems admired the beautiful designs and selected several shirts. She mentioned her intent to settle her bill, showing her appreciation for the outfits on display. The vendor’s gesture of offering the items for free seemed generous, but the singer chose not to accept.
A video capturing the interaction surfaced on social media, sparking mixed reactions. Some social media users questioned why the vendor would offer free items to a celebrity who could easily afford them.
Others argued that the vendor’s offer could have been a strategic move to gain exposure from the internationally acclaimed artiste. Some folks argued that Tems, with her large following, could potentially boost the vendor’s business if she wore the outfit and credited the vendor on social media.
However, some observers speculated that Tems’ decision to pay might have been influenced by the approach used by the vendor. They said that she might have preferred to support the local business directly rather than accept charity.
Tems has become a global icon in the music industry, receiving widespread recognition for her work. Recently, she earned a nomination for the prestigious 56th NAACP Image Awards. She was named alongside other notable figures, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Ayo Edebiri, and Cynthia Erivo.
The NAACP Image Awards celebrate outstanding talent across various fields. This year’s ceremony will take place on February 22 at the Pasadena Civic Center and will air live on BET and CBS.
