“I Like Older Women” — Young Fan’s Bold Move Gets Tems Blushing on Stage
An unexpected and flirtatious exchange between Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Tems and a 22-year-old male fan at the Lollapalooza Festival in Paris has set social media buzzing with admiration, laughter, and love-struck emojis.
During her performance, the soulful 31-year-old singer initially hesitated to serenade the young man after learning his age, cheekily brushing it off by saying he was “too young.” But the bold fan quickly fired back with confidence:
“It’s okay, I like older women.”
The crowd erupted with excitement.
Tems, visibly flustered and laughing, responded playfully, “I’m shy!” before going on to serenade him anyway — a sweet moment that’s since gone viral, showcasing a more flirtatious and open side of the famously introverted star.
🎤 A New Tems?
This is not the first time fans have noticed a shift in Tems’ performance style. The “Love Me Jeje” crooner has been spotted serenading male fans more frequently at festivals this summer — a confident new vibe that fans are absolutely loving.
While Tems has often described herself as a private and introverted soul, her recent live shows hint at a maturing, expressive performer who’s not afraid to connect more deeply — and intimately — with her audience.
