Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems has secured her second Grammy Award, winning in the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Recording Academy Awards.
Her hit song Love Me Jeje triumphed in a category dominated by Afrobeats heavyweights, with Chris Brown as the only non-Afrobeats nominee.
Tems faced strong competition from fellow Nigerian artistes, including Burna Boy, Asake, and Wizkid for their collaboration MMS, as well as Yemi Alade and Davido, who featured alongside Lojay on Chris Brownās Sensational.
In her acceptance speech, the singer said: āWow, dear God. Thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team.
āTomorrow is my mumās birthday and this is her first Grammys. I just want to thank you ma because she has really done a lot for me and my brother.
āHappy birthday mum. And I want to thank my team. Muyiwa, Wale, my beautiful stylist, and lovely girlsā¦ I love you guys.
āThank you so much. To God be the glory. Honestly, He has changed my life so much.ā
This latest Grammy achievement further cements Tems status as one of Africaās most celebrated global music icons.
