Nigerian singer Tems is receiving mixed reactions online after declaring herself a “Jesus baby” at the 2025 Fashion Awards red carpet.
When asked about her zodiac sign during an interview, the Grammy winner smiled and replied:
“Oh, I’m a Jesus baby. My sign is love, peace and joy.”
Her response immediately sparked debate across social media, with critics arguing that her comment contradicts her secular music career and stage persona.
One user wrote:
“She makes worldly music and shakes her fine ass on stage… Christians are hypocrites lol.”
Others accused her of using Christianity as an aesthetic rather than a genuine expression of faith.
Chocodilish commented:
“Add some personality to your music, this Jesus baby bllsht is killing your brand abeg.”
Phena95 added:
“Jesus or Christianity is not an aesthetic; it’s not just about love, joy and peace. Repentance as well.”
However, many fans are defending the singer, saying she is free to identify however she chooses and that expressing faith should not disqualify her from making mainstream music.
max_sticks argued:
“It’s funny when I see believers attacking her for doing too much. Your identity is Christ, not one useless zodiac sign, please.”
Gigialwashere expressed support, writing:
“I agree with her. Grown past being a Gemini, now I identify as a Jesus baby.”
The discussion continues to trend as fans debate whether Tems’ declaration reflects personal belief, branding, or a rejection of astrology culture.
