Tems Opens Up About Being a Shopaholic

Nigerian singer Tems known for her unique voice has recently revealed another side of herself: her love for shopping. In an interview, Tems discussed her annual wardrobe sale, where she sells off both worn and unworn clothing, bags, glasses, shoes, and boots.

“I’ve been planning for this sale where every year I sell out my closet, both worn and unworn, tagged and untagged, all my bags, all my glasses, all my boots all my shoes,” she said during the interview. “I just cleanse myself of everything I’ve ever bought that year and I do it annually.”

Tems admitted that her annual sale is a way for her to address her shopping habits. “I decided to start doing that last year because first off, I think I’m a shopaholic,” she said with a laugh. “I’m acknowledging the problem you see.”

But the sale is about more than just clearing out her closet. Tems also uses it to support a worthy cause. “I wanted to work with a particular organisation called WARIF who advocates for women and children that are victims of domestic violence,” she explained. “And I just thought that was a way I can do this, not just partnering with them, but also doing something that involves other people as well and creates awareness. So I thought this sale would kill two birds with one stone; solving my shopaholic problems and also bringing awareness to organisations that need that spotlight.”
