Uh-oh! Looks like smooth crooner Allan Toniks just fired his shot across West Africa—straight into the DMs of Nigeria’s queen of cool, Tems… except, the bullet might’ve missed.

It all started when Tems dropped a series sizzling photos and video dump on X, that had timelines melting faster than ice cream in a Kampala heatwave. And we’re not exaggerating—Tems was dressed like actual royalty attending an exclusive VIP afterparty in heaven.
She served pure glam in a black, crystal-studded cut-out top and matching skirt, radiating main-character energy from every angle. Think bold, sleek, and a little dangerous. Add to that the chunky, ice-dripping jewelry, soft glam makeup, and a black headscarf that screamed “mystery and millions”, and BOOM—you’ve got a fashion moment so powerful it might’ve summoned Toniks from his studio.
In response, Toniks quote-tweeted the look with this spicy little gem:
“You just need a man that knows what to do with you. 4get about those fools @temsbaby”
Mic drop? More like… soft curve alert.
Tems, ever the unbothered queen, hasn’t liked, retweeted, replied, or even blinked publicly at the comment. Fans are calling it “the classiest ignore of the year,” and Toniks might already be ghosting himself out of embarrassment.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t his first rodeo. Toniks previously attempted to spark something with Ugandan singer Irene Ntale, but that love flame burned out before it ever got lit.
Now he’s got his sights set on one of the most elusive and iconic stars in Afrobeats—Tems, the very definition of booked, blessed, and blissfully unbothered.

Social media is divided: some say Toniks deserves props for confidence, others say he’s now vice president of the “Publicly Curved Club.” Either way, we respect the hustle… and the fashion inspiration!
Will Tems eventually reply? Will we see a Toniks x Tems collab—or even a soft launch on IG stories? Or is this just another case of “man tries Tems, gets teminated”?
Stay tuned, tea-lovers. This one’s developing faster than a Tems chorus going viral.
