Nigerian singer Tems gifted ₦3 million to a fan who crocheted her portrait by hand over 70 hours. The fan, Odum Ifeoluwa, posted the time-lapse video on X to mark her one-year crochet journey. “Prosperity has a guest list” became real when Tems noticed and responded with admiration—and cash.
- The portrait took 70 hours and 8,925 stitches to complete in black and white tapestry style.
- Ifeoluwa created the piece to mark her first anniversary of learning crochet.
- Tems saw the post on X and requested to buy it, before gifting ₦3 million instead.
- The gesture sparked praise online, highlighting creative resilience and celebrity recognition.
Prosperity has a guest list, and sometimes that invitation is stitched by hand. This wasn’t just a fan moment; it was a collision between patience, passion, and possibility. The list doesn’t always include fame, but it honours quiet brilliance.
