While the Grammy-winning singer spent the majority of the session talking to fans about her new seven-track album, one question stood out: a fan asked Tems what she liked most about one of her biggest collaborations, Wizkid.
Tems didn't mince words. She responded to the fan's question with a simple yet significant statement:
"His heart, his work ethic."
She emphasised the statement with a heart emoji, a digital symbol of devotion that quickly went viral.
Legit.ng recalls that Wizkid and Tems collaborated on Essence, which was released in 2020 on Wizkid's Made in Lagos album and became a global success, earning multiple award nominations.

Legit.ng earlier reported that a surprising moment at the Afro Punk Festival in Brazil set social media buzzing after a male fan reportedly denied his wife on stage in an attempt to get Nigerian singer Tems to serenade him.
The clip showed Tems interacting with the man during her performance when she paused and gently said:
“I know your wife is here and I need to respect her.”
The camera then pans to a woman believed to be his wife standing just steps behind him.
Rather than acknowledge his partner, the man shook his head and denied being married, despite the woman’s visible reaction.
The singer, visibly taken aback, tried to diffuse the moment, but the man leaned in and kissed her hand while smiling proudly. The crowd screamed.
The wife, on the other hand, remained silent.
The 10-second moment has since become a hot topic across social platforms worldwide, sparking intense debate about loyalty, public embarrassment, and musician-fan boundaries.
Legit.ng recalled that Tems was recently spotted hurrying through a walkway, where a group of fans waited to greet her behind a barricade.
She noticed one of them, a male fan who requested an autograph on her photo card. The Crazy Things hitmaker paused and attempted to use his pen, which had ceased working at that time.
Tems, in her thoughtfulness, kissed the work of art with her red painted lips, which made the young man very happy.
