A T-shirt, poster or a signed autograph is enough for most to show their support for a favourite artist, but one fan took it to the next level to show her admiration for pastor and gospel star Benjamin Dube.

One of the musician's biggest fans, the woman got the words “The Tribe of Benjamin Dube” tattooed on the side of her neck. A pic of the tattoo was shared by a surprised Benjamin.

“I couldn’t believe this. Tattooed: 'Tribe of Benjamin Dube'. Wow, Zoleka!,” he said.

There were mixed reactions to the photo, with some applauding the girl and others claiming that the star is “encouraging” his fans to idolise him.

Benjamin responded to a criticism, clearing the air on why he posted the photo.

“I’m not really moved by this, just surprised,” he said.

When asked about his stance on tattoos, the veteran muso quoted scripture.
