Nigerian Star Tems Bags Her First Grammy
Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi popularly known as Tems is now a Grammy award-winning artist.
The hitmaker earned her first Grammy for her contribution to Future’s ‘Wait For U,’ which also features Drake during the 65th annual Grammy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles, California.
The musical bombshell won in the category of Best Melodic Rap Performance over artists like Latto (“Big Energy (Live)”, Jack Harlow (“First Class”), Kendrick Lamar (“Die Hard”), and DJ Khaled (“Beautiful”).
Tems was also up for Album of the Year for her contribution to Beyoncé’s Renaissance. Earlier this year, the singer scored an Oscar nomination at the 2023 Oscars for co-writing Rihanna’s ‘Lift Me Up’, on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack.
‘Wait For U’ sampled Tems’ song ‘Higher,’ which was a record off of her 2020 debut album For Broken Ears. ‘Wait For U’ was released on May 3, 2022, and was released as the second single from Future’s ninth studio album, I Never Liked You.
