Drake has once again proven his generosity and support for fellow artists, gifting Nigerian singer Tems over 50 million Naira (approximately $65,000 USD) after attending her show in Toronto, Canada. The gesture comes as a token of appreciation from the Canadian rapper, who has openly praised Tems’ talent and rising influence in the global music scene.

Tems, known for her soulful voice and collaborations with artists like Wizkid and Future, performed to a sold-out crowd in Toronto as part of her international tour. Among the excited attendees was Drake, who has expressed admiration for Tems in the past, especially after their collaboration on the hit track “Fountains” from his album *Certified Lover Boy*. Drake’s attendance at her show was a special surprise for both fans and Tems herself.
After the performance, Drake reportedly gifted Tems the large sum of money as a gesture of respect and recognition for her hard work and impact on the music industry. Sources close to the rapper revealed that he was deeply impressed by her performance and wanted to show his appreciation in a way that reflected his admiration for her artistry.
Tems, who has quickly become a global sensation, expressed her gratitude for the support she’s received from fans and industry heavyweights like Drake. While she hasn’t made a public statement specifically about the gift, insiders say she was “grateful and overwhelmed” by the unexpected generosity.
Fans of both artists have taken to social media to celebrate the moment, praising Drake for uplifting African talent and recognizing the global influence of Nigerian music. “This is so huge for Tems and Afrobeats,” one fan tweeted. “Drake knows talent when he sees it, and he’s always supporting artists from around the world.”
Drake has a history of embracing international artists and sounds, particularly from Africa, and his connection with Tems has been another highlight in that journey. His support is seen as a reflection of how far African music has come in reaching a global audience, and Tems continues to be a driving force in that movement.
With the success of her recent performances and high-profile collaborations, Tems is solidifying her place as one of the brightest stars in contemporary music. Drake’s generous gift is just another acknowledgment of her talent and the impact she’s making on a global scale.
