Afrobeats singer Tems wins the award for Best African Music Performance at the 67th Grammy Awards, beating out a talented lineup of fellow Nigerian artists.
Tems’ win marked a historic moment for Nigerian music, with the country’s artists dominating the nominations in the category.
The singer’s victory was met with widespread celebration from fans and industry insiders alike. The Best African Music Performance category, introduced last year, was won by South African star Tyla for her hit single “Water”.
This year’s nominees included Yemi Alade’s “Tomorrow”, Asake and Wizkid’s “MMS”, Chris Brown’s “Sensational” featuring Davido and Lojay, and Burna Boy’s “Higher”.
