When Tems won her first Grammy, we knew she was destined for greatness. Now, with her second Grammy in the bag, it’s clear, Tems is not just passing through; she’s here to stay! The Nigerian music sensation has once again proven that her talent knows no bounds, bagging the Best African Music Performance award for her hit song Love Me JeJe at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

Love Me JeJe, released on April 26, 2024, is a brilliant reimagination of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic. Tems, with her signature blend of soulful melodies and Afro-fusion, took an old favourite and breathed new life into it, making it a global anthem. The song struck a chord with fans around the world, and now, with a Grammy to its name, it has become a timeless classic.

In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Tems had the audience in their feelings when she dedicated the win to her mother. ” I just want to thank you, mum, because she’s really done a lot for me and my brother. To God be the glory, because honestly, He’s changed my life so much. Thank you so much, thank you, God.”

This win marks Tems’ first solo Grammy, following her previous award in 2023 for Best Melodic Rap Performance with Future’s Wait For You featuring Drake. From her early days as an underground artist to dominating global stages, Temscontinues to redefine what it means to be a Nigerian artist on the world stage.

Her journey is nothing short of inspiring. With each song, each performance, and each award, she is cementing her legacy as one of the most influential voices of this generation.

So, here’s to Tems, shattering ceilings, rewriting history, and making us all fall in love with her music repeatedly. Congratulations, Queen!
