Tems, an Afrobeats artist from Nigeria, won her second Grammy Award at the 67th Recording Academy Awards in the Best African Music Performance category.

Her hit song Love Me Jeje triumphed in a category dominated by Afrobeats heavyweights, with Chris Brown as the only non-Afrobeats nominee.

“Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday.”

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 Brown’s Sensational.

In her acceptance speech, the singer said, “Wow, dear God. Thank you so much for putting me on this stage and bringing me this team.

“Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday, and this is her first Grammy. I just want to thank you, Ma, because she has really done a lot for me and my brother.

“Happy birthday, mom. And I want to thank my team. Muyiwa, Wale, my beautiful stylist, and lovely girls… I love you guys.

“Thank you so much. To God be the glory. Honestly, He has changed my life so much.”

This latest Grammy achievement further cements Tem’s status as one of Africa’s most celebrated global music icons.
